How it works
1
Create a video library
A video library holds your videos together with plenty of options to manage and configure. When you create one, you first choose the name of your video library and then choose which storage regions your videos are replicated globally. The next step is configuring which paid services you would like to enable such as Premium Encoding, AI Transcription and Smart Generate features.
2
Upload your videos
Upload from the dashboard, the API, a remote URL, or directly from your users’ browsers and mobile apps with resumable uploads.
3
Encode and store them
Each video is transcoded into multiple resolutions for adaptive bitrate streaming.
With Premium Encoding, videos are typically playable within seconds of upload.
