[@Silent-academy]

thanks so much Matthew - great video, nicely explained. really helpful!

[@AphaApex]

is there another free plugin to do the same stuff??

[@robmcguire963]

Im looking to build a site like vemo, youtube ect..where i can store my videos to be used like on it similar to a server for my roku channel, will this work for that

[@rehdogg]

I don't want to use dropbox I rather use google cloud is that possible?

[@josecalcagni8472]

👉👉👉 Matthew, thank you for this information. In addition to the video content I would appreciate your comments as to whether WP Video Streamer would be an alternative to source the videos as background for example in the Hero section. To build my pages I am using the WordPress block editor with the Stackable plugin. WP Video Streamer plugin is compatible with WordPress 5.9.2??? Greetings from Santiago de Chile.

New update 1.1 is out now. Better Dropbox connection

[@MatthewMcDonald]

Yes!

[@danielo8097]

Hello Matthew, Does your WP Video Streamer support the Dropbox feature that allows video viewers to leave time-based comments on video files? Many thanks, Dan.

[@AD-mw6ne]

hi what about preventing downloads or link sharing? I am considering using this for a proprietary video that I am selling. Are there any safety things I should be aware of?

[@viktoriakris9452]

Do you offer support? I can't find it in my members are, the video would upload to 100% but won't complete..

[@HeartAndSoulCenteredAstrology]

Super cool. Is there a way to make my videos download enabled? I’d like my students to be able to stream and download.

[@abteachingandtraveling671]

Can I use this for my homepage banner?

[@MatthewMcDonald]

Yes!

[@nu-beings]

So what happened to the WPStreamer? Did you get bought out or you just canceled it?

[@SobujKhan-xj9cs]

i need it temporary to upload a video from rdp after downloading it from a web site and watch it without any download or anything. but the drop box dosent support big files until you pay

[@littlecloudproductions-vid9937]

Thanks so much for this. Can you stream from a google drive account also?

[@MatthewMcDonald]

Just Dropbox for now.

[@ashleywheeler384]

Matthew, thank you for this information. It sounds like a great option for me. A few questions: 1) What is the streaming speed I could expect compared to KZbin? 2) When this is embedded on my Wordpress site, does the video show a typical thumbnail on my page and is able to be viewed right there, or when someone clicks to play the video, does it take them to a different page, a pop up screen, or their computer’s default video player such as Windows Media Player? 3) Does hosting videos on Dropbox Plus affect the amount of buffering time to start the video when they push “Play”? Thank you!

[@MatthewMcDonald]

Ashley, 1 Dropbox is fast, so if the video is encoded for web it will be fast. 2 Video will play on your website and a responsive embed code is provided.

[@MatthewMcDonald]

3 no it’s fast

[@lagler222]

thank you mate!

[@majicediting7514]

Hello I would like to know how I prevent the download with just wp streamer. It appears that we also must have the instant VSL and I cannot afford both at this time. It would force me to return the wp streamer if that is the case

[@MatthewMcDonald]

Hi Majic! You do don't need any other plugins. Embed your videos with the WP Video Streamer code. New update here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJeyc3ZtoJuapqs

[@pervaizkarim7080]

Matt - Currently most of my videos are on KZbin. How does this affect the video rankings on Google, will they still show up or will the link not go anywhere when they are clicked?

[@MatthewMcDonald]

Hey Pervaiz! On Google having your own video files instead of embeds can be a good thing for rankings. But for fast ranking a video, posting it to KZbin get's it coming up faster. I don't do a lot of SEO these days. Someone else could give you a better answer.

[@pervaizkarim7080]

@@MatthewMcDonald Thanks Matt!

[@gcubemakemoney]

@@pervaizkarim7080 In my limited experience Pervaiz I have noticed that the effectiveness of the videos you are featuring on KZbin depends on the niche or subject line. Although KZbin gives you Free access to upload your videos on their platform for what you think is maximum exposure, turns out to be trade off for your quality content to have all your traffic leaked off to pop up ads and even links to your competitors. If you have your own video streaming service (like WPVideoStreamer) then you control the environment and place your marketing exclusively to your campaigns. Try to optimize your website for themed content keywords with your own embedded video streaming in my opinion is much better than thrashing it out in the wild with the KZbin crowd :)
