Why are video platforms so popular?

Posted on: 07-16-2022 by Elizabeth Yokel

Why are we watching more videos these days? There are a few reasons. There's education, entertainment, news, socializing, tutorials and training. There are probably other reasons as well. Increasingly relying upon video services is quickly becoming a global trend, which would probably explain the recent surge in demand for video platforms that support organizations and individuals as they deliver valuable video content to their intended audiences.

There are a broad range of videos. Learn how to install carpet, even learn how to bake a tomato and cheese cassarole. However, not everyone is familiar with how these videos work. The next section provides readers a brief introduction for those who aren't entirely familiar with how the computer functions and how this type of video technology is made possible. At the end, there is a listing of service providers with convenient links to their websites.

What is an online video platform? With the support of a video hosting service, it enables its users to upload, convert, store and play back video content, usually via a structured, large-scale system that could generate revenue.

Typically, users upload video content at the hosting service's website, mobile or desktop application, or other interfaces (API). The type of video content uploaded, could be anything from shorts to full-length TV shows and movies.

The video host stores the videos on servers and offers users the ability to enable different types of embed codes or links that allow others to view the video content. Below is a broad range of alphabetically listed links, which redirect to a wide variety of video platforms for professional and personal use:

It would appear that, as the video market is undergoing a signifigant shift on a scale not much unlike that of plate motion, the way people view video is radically changing; similar to the transition from betamax and vhs tapes to dvd decades ago. During the transition from DVD to VOD, both consumers and film production studios are curiously observing and strategically responding.
