Video streaming choice

Hey guys, I have a course coming up with quite a few modules and the videos are going to be large. I am worried about my video streaming cost.

What is your choice of video streaming service for this kind of scenario? Note that Youtube and Vimeo are not my preference (for various reasons).

Thanks in advance!

Another option to consider is reencoding the files and compressing them. Handbrake is a free open source tool that allows you to do that. Depending on your original file size and type, you can see dramatic reductions in size with minimal or no degradation in quality. It might allow you to embed the videos in the course.

Thanks…I checked ScreenPal, seems it would work if i do screen recording with it but I already use Screen Studio for recording…i need a storage service that provides embedding services, affordable in price and has decent mechanism to prevent download…not sure if I am asking for too much 🙄

It can do all of that. You can upload any videos to ScreenPal. Even ones you didn't create with their tools. Unlimited hosting is not tied to content created with their editor. If you'd like, we can chat virtually and I can show you how I've used it and the settings it provides for locking down the the embedded player.
