How to choose a video hosting platform for your business.
A business video hosting platform stores your videos and plays them in a player you control, without ads or suggested videos from other channels. To choose one, compare the player and branding, privacy options, lead capture, analytics, recording tools and how the price grows with your library.

What is a video hosting platform?
A video hosting platform stores your video files, converts them so they play smoothly on any device, and gives you a player to share or embed them. Free social platforms do the same for the public, but they decide what plays next, show their own branding and often run ads around your video.
A business video hosting platform puts you in charge instead: the player carries your brand, you decide who can watch, and you see what each viewer did. Flaxxa Videos is one of these platforms, with a recorder built in.

Why not just use YouTube for business videos?
YouTube is the right place to be found by the public. It is a poor home for videos on your own website, in sales emails or behind a login.
- Suggested videos at the end can send a viewer to another channel, including a competitor's.
- The player carries YouTube's branding, not yours.
- Unlisted videos can be passed on by anyone with the link; there is no password or email gate.
- You see channel-level statistics, not which named lead watched and for how long.
- There is no form inside the video to collect an email or book a call.

What should you compare between video hosting platforms?
Write down what your videos are for, then check each platform against this list.
Privacy
Public, unlisted, private, password and email-gated options, and whether you can stop downloads.
Lead capture
Forms and calls to action inside the video, and where the leads go afterwards.
Analytics
Views, watch time and how many watch to the end, per video, with devices and countries.
Recording
Whether you can record your screen and camera in the same tool, or need a separate recorder.
Sharing
Watch pages, embeds for your site, collections or playlists, and a public channel.

How is video hosting priced?
Platforms usually charge by one or more of these: the number of videos or hours stored, storage in gigabytes, bandwidth (how much is watched), the number of users or seats, and which features each plan unlocks. Lead forms, calls to action and detailed analytics are often kept for the higher plans.
When you compare prices, work out what you would pay once your library and your team have grown, not only the starting price. Flaxxa Videos is included on Flaxxa plans, starting with a Free plan; the pricing page shows what each plan includes.

Which kind of platform fits which team?
Most teams fall into one of these groups.
- Marketing teams want a branded player on their website, lead forms and A/B tests.
- Sales teams want quick screen and camera recordings with a button that books the next call.
- Course creators and trainers want privacy, chapters, captions and completion per lesson.
- Support and customer success teams want how-to videos grouped in collections people can search.
