What types of videos are supported?

We support a wide variety of video formats!
​
Videos that you upload are automagically converted to industry-standard formats (H.264 with AAC audio) with high quality settings. This way, we can provide a high-definition viewing, with the smoothest playback possible.

  1. YouTube and Vimeo videos are supported out-of-the-box, so they just get downloaded in the best possible quality (up to 1080p right now).
    ​

  2. Live Streaming Videos (YouTube, Vimeo, UStream, or custom HLS or RTMP/RTSP streams). These will have to be delivered by the stream in H.264 format to make sure they will be played back on our Players.
    ​

  3. PowerPoint files are converted to videos on our servers, retaining all transitions and animations.
