SimpleVideo, or room to grow?
Both simple. One goes further.
SimpleVideo is a young European service for small businesses that want to embed a few videos on their website. Its plans limit upload and viewing minutes per month; when a limit is reached, playback stops unless you upgrade.
StreamZilla is just as easy, but grows with you: automatic subtitles, transcripts and translations, a player built to WCAG 2.2 AA, a video portal, private videos and the option to host it yourself.
Free during the beta. For organisations. Nothing to pay.
