Paid Video Hosting That Work On Mobile?

[Nathali]

I'm building a website that will host video content and I need find a video hosting service.

The problem is most websites I find have ads that make it impossible to watch the video on mobile.

For example I tried using DOOD STREAM and it no matter how many times I clicked on the play button it just took me to another website.

I tried reducing the amount of videos and changing settings but I just couldn't get the video to play on mobile.

Currently 90% of my traffic is from mobile devices so it's important that the videos actually play!!!

What do you guys recommend I do?

Are you embedding the video into your website or just don’t mind lead your visitors to their website to play the video?

If you’re embedding the video into your own website then there should not be an issue with ads, use your own player.

this all comes down to your budget.
if you have no budget, then youre going to have ads.
hosting sites need to earn money too.

if you want no ads
buy premium or host your own

I want ads but I also want the videos to actually play AFTER the ads. That's the problem.

I'm embedding them and the ads won't go away. You can click on the play button a dozen times and it will just keep opening a new advertisement.

If you are using a custom player for these embedded videos you might be not getting as many ads.

but afaik, mobile visitors indeed get to deal with this all the time
