Questions the author answers
Does Presto Player host my video files?
Presto Player offers multiple hosting location options for your web-optimized videos. With our free version you can self-host your video or use YouTube or Vimeo. Our Pro version includes deep integration with Bunny.net.
In addition, any video host that gives you a public link to the video can be used with Presto Player, including HLS streams. Learn How
Does Presto Player work with my page builder?
Presto Player works with all page builders — add a video to the Media Hub and use the provided shortcode in any builder. Presto Player also includes native Gutenberg blocks and dedicated Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Divi modules.
Does Presto Player work with LearnDash’s video progression?
Yes, it most certainly does! And just like everything else we do, it’s very easy to use. Head on over to
our integrations page to see how easy it is.
What does “web optimized video” mean?
When you create a video that you want to display on your website, it first needs to be transcoded in a web-optimized format. When using a service such as YouTube, you can upload a video in any format and YouTube will transcode it for you. However, when you are self-hosting your video or using one of our integrations such as Bunny.net, you first need to transcode your video.
How do I get captions created for my Presto Player videos?
There are many caption creation services available. We use HappyScribe because we like the interface and features they provide, but you can use any captioning service. Your captions need to be exported in the industry standard VTT format.
Does Presto Player secure my videos?
Presto Player Pro offers a public and private video option. Private videos are only accessible when a user is logged into your website. In addition Presto Player will use dynamic expiring links to your private videos.
In cases where someone may want to dig through the HTML on your web page where a video is to try and find the URL, that URL will not work.
