Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Vadoo - A surprisingly fresh take on video hosting." June 14, 2021 5.0 Despite the cons mentioned above, I use vadoo tv for secure video demos to my clients, and vadoo handles it perfectly. The videos are encrypted, you can add an additional level of protection by setting a password to view the video. Clients also like it to view their logo on their videos, and with vadoo its a breeze to personalize the videos. Vadoo is also very cost effective, the nearest competitor is twice as expensive and not quite as easy to work with, plus with the clients being skeptical about hosting on youtube, vadoo offers a refreshing change to the video hosting arena. Vadoo also helps you circumvent ads, with youtubes new update to its terms that states that regardless of the creator opting in for ads, youtube, can decide to show ads on any video hosted on its platform. So now, paying customers , if served videos that are hosted on youtube might get a competitors ad in it. Vadoo tv packages the best in class features and with a price bracket that puts it in the affordable zone to help you transition over to a more secure, cloud hosted, ad free viewing platform, and it is backed by an amazing technical team that knows what they are doing. With a clear road map, frequent product enhancements and value upgrades, I would definately recommend vadoo tv without battering an eyelid. Pros Video encryption - Vadoo offers HLS video encryption for every video hosted on its platform, which means that every video hosted on it is difficult to rip and blackmarket (its not foolproof) but its an assurance to know that the efforts that one puts in a video doesn't go in vain. A plethora of use cases - Vadoo offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to hosting videos, you can use it for product demos, trainings, customer followups, or also use it to obtain a video feedback from a customer. Vadoo also allows for email embeds, so small introductory videos can be embedded in the email body for the ultimate personalization. The chrome addin - Vadoo's chrome plugin allows one to screencast, and record interactive sessions and also meetings, this is really good if you spend a great deal of time testing products and would prefer to record so as to give a well rounded documentation. Landing pages - Vadoo offers a lot of marketing tools, one of them being the ability to create an individual landing page per video, you can customise each page and video to the finest details (color, thumbnails, tracking codes, even the play button to name some) can be customised in a zap. Lead capture - Vadoo was originally supposed to be a marketers toolbox, and with that comes the option to collect emails mid video, the lead capture is a nice touch as you can show a first few minutes of your video to engage and generate interest, and allow them to continue only once they input the email ids. Cons Monitor the space usage - Vadoo automatically creates several copies of the same video to cater to different bitrates, this translates to the available quota being filled up faster than you would expect. This was updated to the team and they are planning on providing an option to let users define the bitrates that the video would be available in. Branding is tedious - The logo needs to be uploaded and customized for every video thats uploaded even if you do it only for your company. Lead capture needs enhancement - At the time of writing this review, the lead capture could be bypassed with any generic email@domain.com leading to a lot of junk emails, but the vadoo team is aware of this and is taking steps to allow users potentially link up an email validator and complete validation of the email prior to resuming the video replay. No direct linking of mp4 - Vadoo tv does not allow direct mp4 linking as it encrypts the videos and the videos can only be played on its proprietary player. This means that most tools that support video hyperlinks from youtube or vimeo, doesn't support vadoo tv links. This needs to be evaluated on a use case basis prior to making an informed decision to buy. Upload limits on videos - This does not impact me, but there is a 1.5 Gb upload limit per video, and if you are a course developer and end up making a nice video that exceeds this limit, you would have to clip it down and edit it prior to uploading to vadoo. So plan your videos! Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) \-Price -Security -Features Review Source MR Marcius R. Entrepreneur Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great bang-for-your-buck video hosting " June 20, 2021 5.0 I love the team behind this which makes me put faith in this product, because they are quick to answer and to solve all the problems or questions you have, even on the free version which I tried before buying. They are also constantly developing and adding more options and fixing bugs. For example, now they've just added a podcast section. I don't have any plans to launching a podcast, but I have a friend who might, and now I can easily guide him with this, because they are an older gentleman who doesn't have that much experience with PCs and softwares. So I have faith that even more options and features will be added in, like improved analytics, which shows me that I'll be sticking with vadoo for the long term. Pros Video speed is something very important for me, and Vadoo.tv offers it. No buffering! I've tried other platforms in the past. While sure, speed was good with others as well, they were more expensive and the expense didn't justify me keeping those. So I tried others that are free. Youtube, sure it's fast, but you get a lot of ads. Then other alternatives: bitchute - free but very slow, rumble - free but slow as well. I then tried to use a CDN like bunny, but in the end, while the costs weren't as high as others, the expense still wasn't justified for me. If I had 20GB of video, I have to pay those 20GB storage for 4 different CDN areas. Then, add the bandwidth for those as well. So glad when I found Vadoo because the bandwidth is unlimited. I tried the free version at first, skeptical, but even the free version has great speeds, with no buffering, and unlimited bandwidth with NO ads. So all I'm paying for is the storage, which is great. The next thing that is important for me is Domain Security & Encryption. I don't want my videos to be stolen or posted on other sites. Right now I'm just uploading some free instructional videos for my newsletter readers, but I still don't want the videos to be downloaded and pasted somewhere else. At later times, I'm planning on creating a paid course, which makes Encryption Security essential to not have my videos stolen. I'm glad that vadoo offers this. Both vimeo and wistia, while they claim they offer security, it doesn't work well. Cons The interface is something I'm not really in love with, although it's just something I see. I don't find dashboard menu and pages very well organized, and this makes it confusing because it's not intuitive. So if I click a level to go under projects, then I select a project, then I select a video. I am 3-4 levels deep. If I want to get out, I have to manually click back 3-4 times, instead of this being like a normal mega-menu with subsections that I can just click out of. This makes it confusing because sometimes I don't even know what settings I'm editing. Am I editing the project settings, the video one? There is no highlight on the menu to know where I am at, and furthermore, the levels deep isn't really specified, I just have to deduce it. But if I have to edit settings to 40 videos, then I might forget, did I do this one? Did I forget one? So the UI could be more organized and intuitive. Analytics also need more stuff there, but for now, I'm not really using it. Reason for choosing Vadoo The fact that BunnyCDN makes me pay 4 times for the same storage and bandwidth because of the different CDN regions.

Pros Vadoo has everything you need.. It's a powerful alternative to (Vimeo, Wistia, Kartra videos), it is important to use professional video hosting platforms. If you need to host online courses videos, so no one can download your video, you will need (HLS encryption) this is a huge thing, it is available in License Tier 3 and up. Full HD video is so important and this is available in License Tier 3 and up. With the lower license tier you still get domains security, which protect your videos from being embeded on other websites. Unlimited total videos: You are not limited to certain numbers of video, you can upload as many as you like, the limitation is based on the total storage and that can be vary from package to package. Custom video player: You can customize each video easily High-performance delivery using CDN: This is a huge thing, it makes videos loads right away even with bigger file, which some other platforms keep buffering! Import from Youtube/Vimeo/Google drive: Save time if you have already existing video. Customized video landing pages: You can create a nice clean, white label landing pages. Make your videos more professional! CTAs: there are 2 types (1) CTA on the landing pages so your visitors click on the buttons (can be website, calendar appointments, ...) (2) CTA in the video itself, so you can choose at certain time video will stop and can not continue till the visitors submit a form or do an action. Cons Domain security: This should be set for each project because right now, you set domain security for the whole account. It should be set separately for each project and videos under that project.

May 28, 2021 5.0 A very good solution for starters. I’ve been looking for a solution like this since long time ago and I finally found it. Pros Using AWS storage and CDN content distribution is the best. Videos load very fast and with very good quality. A very good solution for starters. I’ve been looking for a solution like this since long time ago and I finally found it. Some other users complain about the lack of features but I see this app as a working as intended and with a lot of potential. Developers seem very committed and support looks very responsive. A lot of recent features has been released and I hope they keep this pace and keep improving this promising video solution. Cons It’s true that it’s still missing a lot of features and functionalities, but I’m confident developers will be adding them progressively. I would like to see features like: Multi CNAME per project/channel. Multiple folders per project. The option for the user to select the video quality in the player. The customization options that currently exist per each video (play icon, player color, video watermark, etc) should be also available globally at the project/channel level. More white label branding options for the dashboard and the player. But!... what I really really would like to have it’s a complete Wordpress integration solution. Developers at Vadoo should work in a Wordpress plugin that will allow users to do things like: Connect a specific Wordpress site to a specific channel. Upload videos from the Wordpress media and post editor interfaces. Explore uploaded videos for the connected channel in the wordpress media and post editor pages. I’ve seen solutions like this, CloudFlare recently launched their video streaming services which include a wordpress plugin with this kind of features. I really hope that these features come to reality very soon.

Course Leader Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Making a Difference" June 4, 2021 5.0 Safe secure platform for my videos, all at a great price, within my budget and provides me with the opportunity to follow my dream of becoming self-employed and starting a training company with materials that will benefit others that seek knowledge using video. The use of Video emailing will greatly add a sense of professionalism. Pros All videos are ad-free Easy to upload videos UI is fantastic with options to customize and use brand colors, CTA, Landing pages. Mobile responsive Security use of HLS encryption is mind-blowing and will keep my videos safe. and the use of video password protection is a game-changer for me. They listen to users and are continually improving the platform. I can share my videos on social media You get real-time video analytics of video views which will assist in analyzing if the videos are keeping my viewers online and if improvements should be considered and implemented. Cons At first, I found the loading to be slow, but then realized I had other systems running in the back that affected my Wi-fi. Once fixed Vadootv ran smoothly. At this moment everything is absolutely great with no dislikes. The more I dive into Vadootv the better it gets and I am overjoyed and excited to see the great things they have on their roadmap. Reason for choosing Vadoo Firstly, the price was nonexpensive and affordable. The various options of branding, security, and CDN speed would help to catapult me into the industry of LMS. Their road map showed that Vadootv is a game-changer as they not only listen to customers' needs but implements their requests within a short period of time.

VP of Video Production Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing!!!" June 2, 2021 5.0 Wow! Each time I push play on a video in Vadootv, I start smiling. I’m so blown away by the speed of this player. How is this even possible? Vimeo and Youtube need to watch out! Seriously. I work fulltime as a filmmaker and am constantly uploading videos online for clients to view and share with their audience. I’ve been keeping my eye on Vadootv and debating as I’ve bought video players before and was disappointed. I’m so thankful I tried Vadootv! It’s crazy how fast it loads and plays videos. It’s a dream come true for sure! The interface of Vadootv is easy to use and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend testing it out for yourself. You may be surprised just like I was and still am. I just want to say THANK YOU to the Vadootv Team for making this amazing platform for all of us to use! Pros 1\. It’s FAST! (from uploading the video to playing the video, it’s all fast) 2. Customization (great for keeping everything on brand with different clients) 3. Links/embedding features 4. Security Cons 1\. Only HD.... I'd like to see 4k support. I like quality and appreciate being able to show it. 4k would be amazing even if it’s down the road. I’d really like to see this feature added. 2. No play analytics overlay on video. Detailed play analytics where you can see how far people watch the video and where they drop off or jump would be a great feature to see added.

Owner Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Full Featured - Unrefined in a Few Spots But Great Potential and Some Hidden Gems" August 3, 2021 4.0 Pros Does what you would expect from a CDN with lots of embed or share options: Link, Email, Embed, (iframe or JS), Social Share and a couple nice nonstandard Popover JS and Chat Type Video Bubble. Unlimited bandwidth and videos and a generous storage limit is what you would be looking for in a CDN. Custom players make your branding easy with multiple branding presets, allowing you to save colors, play buttons, and player features for each use case and easily replicate or use for later. Landing Pages – Good for marketing when you don’t have or want to use your own hosting page. Also has Open javascript includes which can really vault your execution over similar platforms. Themes are bit limiting and restrictive currently but added layout functionality distinguished it from other similar offerings. Good segmentation with Projects that can have its own podcast, team, settings channels etc for easy drill down and per project customization. Cons Video Marketing is there but lacks refinement – You can add strategically placed CTAs to encourage users to take specific actions based on the video content, but Leads are not entered into a CRM, you have to go to each video to retrieve and is a blind shot in the dark CSV download to see if you have any fish in the trap. Not ideal execution by any means. Other offerings include In Video Polling, and Video Funnels which are equally unrefined and lack the multiple option drag and drop funnel operation of other services. Analytics are meager and also per project which could be good, but lacks cross platform analytics Some user interface dead-ends. Tried to click “Request video testimonials from users” and got an error popup “Please choose an org name first” but no forward or explanation of how to do or fix that issue. Even when I setup in the admin I still get “Invalid url” warning so unable to test video request. When setting up the Setup Custom Domain for CNAME entering a domain simply says updated with no info on how to actually set the CNAME up in your DNS. Review Source Cory C. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Vadoo.tv Player Has Great Potential" June 29, 2021 4.0 Vadoo.tv is likely the best fledgling video delivery app available today. A few small quirks, but solid. Pros 1\. Simple - It is not hard to figure out and produce video right away. Clean interface and layout. 2. You can upload your own videos. 3. Create Channels, Podcasts, Teams, Separate Projects. 4. Customizable - Enable/Disable options, color, watermark, CTA, (Top Plans) HD video, Encryption, Whitelabel. 5. Password protect videos. 6. Integration - Zapier and top video platforms. 7. Landing page creator. 8. Presets for player appearance. 9. Trimming of video’s, maybe. Cons 1\. You can’t edit videos in the online app. OOF! So, better pre-edit everything and upload. 2. No custom overlays or custom buttons. (Does have CTA) 3. There is no undo on the trim feature, and you can only trim the back end even though the dialog shows a front-end time field. (Chrome Extension only) 4. Navigation has way too much back-and-forth motion. (Small thing, but highly annoying after a while of it) 5. No settings for video/audio controls for which camera, mic, and size. (Only the Chrome Extension lets you change cameras and mics currently) 6. Limited text color on the landing page creator 7. I recorded through the Chrome Extension, uploaded the video, and renamed it, but the video disappeared. 8. Audio is missing in online app recordings. (I doubt I’m the only one) Reason for choosing Vadoo I didn't just look at the star ratings of the product, but did a serious review of the critiques of users to see the capabilities and potential issues.

Marketing Advisor Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Vadoo TV Is A Great Alternative To Youtube, Vimeo, Wistia, And Amazon s3" June 11, 2021 5.0 This has been a great experience so far. I've used a bunch of the other premium platforms and I'm very happy with Vadoo TV. For the price, you couldn't beat it. Plus, their focus on REALLY improving the platform is noticeable. You can tell they care and want this to be a great platform. I've been very happy so far. Pros The first part was that the video plays instantly. There is no lag, no glitches, and just instant playback. I'm also a big fan of being able to add optins to collect emails and being able to add a call to action is GREAT. Also, since it's a privately hosted platform there are no pop-up videos or other ads that you would get when using Youtube. The Vadoo TV team is also very open to suggestions and make new improvements quickly. Cons It's very simple to use but did take a minute to figure out some of the user interface. It's nothing too hard, but there are a few areas where you have to look at it for a second and think about what you're doing. This isn't necessarily a negative but just like Vimeo and other players, the CTA options are very basic and look very "plain." The Vadoo TV team is very responsive so I'm sure they'll improve this as time goes on. Simply updating the optin and CTA "look" would put them way ahead of the other options that I've used. Reason for choosing Vadoo As mentioned I've used and am using these other products. The main reason I wanted to try Vadoo is because the costs of the other platforms can add up quickly and Vadoo looked like a strong alternative. Plus, they are very responsive to suggestions and their users.

I am definitely saving a lot of money. The tool works as prescribed. Pros Wow, long time I have been stalking this deal. I would have hit that buy button but was hesitant on if this deal could deliver. The first reviews did not give this AppSumo enough time for reviewing. So I waited to see more tested reviews from the community. Plus I like seeing how long it takes support to answer questions and which questions are skipped. I saw this happen on many other deals on here.⁣ ⁣ The features and roadmap looks amazing. I have seen many updates rolled out and the Facebook community is great too. I even see support go back on old posts and give updates. That’s awesome follow up. I thought from the beginning this deal was great but thought it was too good to be true. Obviously I was wrong. So far I have seen it exceed my expectations.⁣ ⁣ I run and agency and I also coach agency owners. What made me gravitate to this deal was the part of following rules. I had another AppSumo deal \[KillerPlayer\] and even though there are updates. I saw too many times the app would go down and that does not look good on a membership portal. This platform makes it possible for me to present my work to my clients in a professional way. Allowing me to have worry free headaches if my videos are up or down. The extra layer of security is definitely a bonus.⁣ ⁣ Onboarding was a breeze and the platform has everything I wanted. I real feel the developers are doing a stellar job with updating and new features. Speed of videos are fast. I have not tested out the Chrome extension yet. Cons I did not purchased at first because I set back and let other people in the community try this out. The only dislike I had was waiting to purchase it.

Pros I've been looking for a new video hosting platform and I'm really glad I found VadooTV. Many video hosting plattforms focus on video or statistics or player. VadooTV does that and add request videos, screen capture, captions etc. And there are great features on their roadmap. VadooTV is really simple to use and fast. The team is very responsive, adjusts to feedback and implement new features quickly. Great job Team VadooTV! - Can add chapters for easy navigation - Chapter list in the player - Change playback speed in the player - Auto play and other customisations to the player – Captions can be added from file for accessibility or if someone wants to watch on mute - Request a person to record a video and just send them a link and they can record in a browser. - Do a screen recording or record a video, save and then just send a link to the person or use it on a website. No extra uploading to third party plattform - HLS encryption & Domain security to prevent downloading of videos. - Be able to use CNAME so I can have my own domain in the address. - You can choose to have a animated GIF Thumbnail for the video and don’t have to create it separately. Cons The team address things quickly and I hope all of these will be added as features... - VadooTV has a 1.5 GB file limit limit so if you have longer video files and want a higher bitrate you might need to devide the file in to smaller parts. - Videos can only be played in VadooTV player. No direct URL to play to use on other platforms, course platforms or other players on a wordpress site. - You can’t copy over youtube videos to VadooTV only play them through their player. So suggested videos etc still shows. - There are no way to add text, contact info, release forms that needs to be approved before saving when a person does a video testimonial. - There are only captions/subtitles available in one language. - No customisation for captions/subtitle style and size. - No light meter or audio levels meter for video recordings or video requests. - User interface can be improved and streamlined. - No direct integration to autoresponder plattforms for lead capture - No Dropbox integration Review Source Aliff A.

June 3, 2021 5.0 All in all, it's worth every penny, and I would definitely recommend VadooTV to others. I know that \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and his team are working hard for improving the platform further, so I definitely look forward for such upgrades. Pros I have been looking for a video hosting platform for some time, but I could not afford to subscribe to either Vimeo or Wistia as it is out of my budget. I'm glad that I found VadooTV. It is the best platform to use as there are no ads when watching the vids and the video player is totally customizable for what you want to use it for. Plus points about VadooTV: - The platform is super easy to use. I was able to upload a video then click "Share & Embed" and put it into my website in just a few minutes, so much easier than using YouTube and all the extra steps of uploading and configuring there! I also like that the embed videos are responsive too, which means they can adapt to any device screen size. - No ads, no distractions like on YouTube, just a satisfying stream of content that you can enjoy from start to finish. - The price point is perfect. VadooTV is very affordable compared to other big-name video hosting platforms like Vimeo or Wistia. - No buffer when playing the video and audio. I know that they have their own CDN infrastructure, thus the reason why the performance is so good. - The video and audio player are very customizable. I can change the theme and colors, which is great especially when trying to showcase my videos more professionally. - They also have their Chrome extension that can record my screen and save the recordings in VadooTV. I haven't tried it yet, but am looking forward to using it in the future. Cons The audio player should be more visually appealing. Also, it would be great if the VadooTV team could provide a drag and drop upload function which would be very convenient to upload the files rather than finding and selecting the files from the computer every time.

June 3, 2021 4.0 Overall I really like Vadoo as it is quick and easy to work with and packed with heaps of features that make my workflow easier. Pros I like how it is very easy to setup and get going. The user interface is clean and easy to use while delivering all crucial features. Another thing I like is the Video Request Feature, which makes it so easy to request videos. I use it to request video testimonials from clients and its super useful. Cons Some areas of the user interface requires a little more modernisation. Some tick boxes in particular seem a bit outdated. Speed is another thing that needs to be worked on, I think its to do with their CDN in Australia, but their support team has given positive vibes and they are working on it, so that's great! Other than that there is nothing I don't like. Review Source Justin S.

Overall I am confident that Vadoo addresses my needs and I am excited for future improvements. Pros I purchased Vadoo to solve two problems, namely playback speed and persistent advertising. In both areas, Vadoo excels beyond any other product I've tried. The playback speed is truly incredible, i.e. virtually instant. And the ability to prevent advertisements or "suggested videos" from distracting my audience ensures that I am not losing customers to other sites or content creators. Although I haven't focused on email marketing in the past, it is worth noting that Vadoo is fantastic at embedding video into email which expands my marketing potential in the future. Cons I have not experienced any notable problems with Vadoo. Some users may find the UI to be simple, but I prefer the minimalist layout which is clean and uncluttered. Although I would like to see more customization features, I am confident that the future roadmap addresses this issue. Review Source LN London N. Principal E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Video Hosting Tool with Great Value" June 4, 2021 4.0 Pros I was eagerly waiting for a video hosting tool like this to finally say goodbye to YouTube! My plan is to migrate all my videos to the VadooTV platform and organize them in a tiered fashion for an eventual subscription model off my course-based website. Embedding videos on my website has always been my goal. The domain security and encryption features are an added bonus. Since the majority of the videos are courses, having videos load quickly is critical for avoiding subscription drop-offs. My main concern with YouTube has always been ad interruptions and suggestions of other videos, which could lead my customers astray. Having the ability to customize videos according to my company branding seals the deal for me. Managing all my projects on a single screen is made all the more easier with a very simple uncomplicated user interface. I was seriously considering Vimeo or Wistia before discovering VadooTV. Glad I did, as it’s much more cost effective with all the frills included – especially in the highest tier 5 that offers white label and CName. Just from the discussions and involvement from the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], I get the confidence that this product has a lot of potential for the future. Cons Right now no complaints. My only fear is that they don't stop improving the product - or worse, if they disappear! My feeling is that it's unlikely that would happen since the value for dollar is perfect for onboarding more users. Reason for choosing Vadoo Really the price proposition based on the feature rich platform of VadooTV, made it an easy choice.

June 3, 2021 5.0 Serving our customers short videos on there websites without any YouTube advertising is a breeze! Pros Vadootv Player is a prime tool for us. In te past we used Vimeo and YouTube for showing videos on our clients websites. It was always a hassle and never centralized or account based. Also the extended Analytics part was missing for us. Vadootv Player Changed all this at once! And did I mentioned that it's fast as hell!!! The configuration is darn easy and splitting up projects is a breeze. Need a CNAME to setup a custom domain? Vadoo.tv has got you covered! Secure views to one domain? Vadoo.tv has got you covered. And all this is just the tip of the ice berg :) Cons The UI is still what immature so there's still some improvements to make.

The software is solid out of the box and the support and roadmap are really, really stellar. Pros As the title of my review states, Vadoo is very versatile. The video quality and security are best in class. The ability to encode and embed your videos virtually anywhere is vital for many aspects of my business. Embedding on websites, in emails, using the chat bubble are all great ways to use video for communicating with clients. One of the best things I like about the software is the team who built and supports the software. Their roadmap and their ability to build in features in a timely fashion are pretty impressive. In addition to them building features quickly, their support is also top-notch when it comes to identifying the issue then fixing them and improving the software. I also like the ability to submit feature requests and have them considered to be built into the software. Cons As with any software there are some bugs being worked. I have not run into any in my use as of yet but have seen on the Vadoo Facebook page that peole are reporting bugs. Again, as to be expected with any software and the bright side is the support team is very responsive which is always a great sign of a great team. Review Source Lorien F.

I have loaded 10 of our monthly MUFON Meetings to a private membership page - we are launching the membership in August - and have been able to stream all the videos without buffering or any other issues. Pros The most important feature to me is the video hosting. I was blown away with the speed of upload! The fastest I have ever used. Cons The analytics are basic, but fine for video hosting where you know who your audience is. Reason for choosing Vadoo I switched to Vadoo because I was tired of the promises of fast uploads (didn't ever happen), limited file size upload which most companies tell you is not an issue but the second you try to upload a large file in HD they tell you to drop the file size down from 1080p to 720p and compress.

Founder E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An indispensable tool for online trainers" June 3, 2021 4.0 The biggest benefit for me is being able to have all my videos hosted in one place, both the video lessons and the videos with marketing actions. And for a very competitive price. I really like the player. I think my students are going to really appreciate the possibilities of varying the playback speed or the buttons to go forward or backward. Pros It also allows you to activate calls to action within the video. The latter seems especially interesting for creators of online courses, since it opens the possibility of including questions or a quiz at the end of a video lesson. In addition to the usual calls to action of marketing actions. Using the platform is super easy an intuitive. Cons I think they should incorporate the GDPR as soon as possible. In Europe we cannot capture leads without this option. That is, we cannot use yet one of the most interesting features of VadooTv. On the other hand, it is not clear to me what will happen to 4K videos in the future. At the moment it is possible to upload 4K video, but it will play it at 1080p.

Additionally, Vadoo is still affordable and I can use domain security and HSL encryption to prevent videos from unauthorized embedding or downloading. Pros I like the fact that Vadoo does not play third-party ads before, during or after the playback. Videos hosted on Vadoo are secured through HSL and they also use CDN to make the loading time faster. They provide a CNAME feature so you can use it with your own domain name. You can embed CTA's right in the video. What I really like is that the team behind Vadoo listens carefully to user feedback and they sometimes implement requested features very quickly. The roadmap of the product looks solid and promising. Cons The UI requires a revamp as it is a bit uncomfortable to work with it. Some bugs are still there, but the product is still under development. The analytics they provide is still limited. More advanced analytics would be great. Additionally, event tracking is still not there. Subtitles in different languages would be a great feature as the Vadoo users come from different countries. I do hope future updates and upgrades will solve all issues. Alternatives considered [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) Reason for choosing Vadoo Affordable pricing and features they outlined in their roadmap. Additionally, the Vadoo team listens carefully to their users and implements requested features. Review Source Tony G.

However, there's a lot of valuable extras here that I was not expecting, including the ability to record my own screen, and an option to help you get video reviews from customers without a lot of technical hassle for the customer. Also, the interface is easy to navigate and this doesn't seem like overwhelming software to learn how to use. They also have an active Facebook group and I've been impressed how quickly questions are addressed Cons There's nothing so far that stands out. It doesn't integrate with one of the course platforms I was considering, but they are already in discussions with them to fix the issue. Either way, this isn't a dealbreaker. While I'm not sure about courses moving forward, I'm 100% committed to offering quality video content for my audience and customers.

Anyway, I love vadooTV player. Pros Mainly I'm gonna use vadootv player to host my upcoming online courses, and so for that the most important features needed and this product have (I tested it internally by uploading sample videos to my site)are: first, it's so freaking fast (Love it). Second, I can protect videos by restricting users to download my videos (so IMP from me). Third, it's insanely easy to customize, use and embed on the site. These are the most important features was looking for as an online instructor and it has it all. Cons As of right now, I didn't find anything noticeable to dislike it, but there's the thing that can be better, at the end of every video needed an option to add a quiz, so once my students have finished the lessons they can test their knowledge with a quiz. Again it didn't need to be advanced but only a text quiz will do the trick. Switched from [Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/) Mainly because Vimeo pro offered a subscription of $20 per month on the annual bill. but I got this deal on a huge discount on app sumo. and I really love how fast Vadootv player is. and also because it's new, it's pretty hard to download videos because it's encrypted, dead-simple design and super affordable.

This helps with offloading media content which can be heavy on a site's load speed. Pros Vadoo hosting has great video hosting and encryption. Playback is great! Functionality including CTA, transcriptions are awesome. Embeddable player is perfect Cons The interface still needs a little refining, but they are always updating their app based on user feedback. Alternatives considered [Adilo](https://www.capterra.com/p/212725/Adilo/) Reason for choosing Vadoo Their customer support, roadmap, and speed of development.

Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Vadoo is in my top 5 ever business investments" July 9, 2021 5.0 I bought into this platform at their beginning, so probably the most interesting aspect of my experience using it is in following along in the developmental process. I mention above that I haven't been able to keep up with all the features they have rolled out since I started using it. I'm not joking about that, I have yet to explore everything it lets me do because they've literally outpaced my creative capacities as an individual business owner. I've even been a participant in the development curve as they implemented features I asked for within days of the asking. As for the subjective user experience on the platform, it's still evolving, because they are constantly updating and adding functionality as people run into better ways to do things and suggest them. This has a modicum of confusion associated to it, but it's also just really nice to have things work better every time I come back to do something. Overall, it's quite intuitive, and it's so capable that I've been able to retire several other tools that it replaced as it is evolving. Pros It's hard to say specifically what feature I like best because they keep rolling out good stuff faster than I can keep up. For example the podcast hosting feature that came up a month or so ago, allowed me to stop using another paid service and do more on one platform. So, overall my favorite thing about Vadoo is their rate of development and attention to user feedback. It's been on a track of ask and receive since their beginnings and no end in sight, they have an amazing development team. Cons I don't really have anything to complain about, they do what they say and more, and they do it well. If I have any complaint (and it's not really a complaint), from what I understand they are unlikely to ever develop a live-streaming or re-streaming feature. However, that has never been anywhere in their promised features or selling points, it would just be a cherry on an already over the top sundae. Reason for choosing Vadoo Cost was the initial factor in choosing a video hosting platform, then it started evolving and replacing other tools I was contemplating integrating into my business.
