Great video hosting but some downsides
The system automatically creates multiple versions of the videos so that the server space increases. If you upload a 720p video, Publitio creates a 1080p version that is more than twice the size. When I addressed this, I got the info from support that I needed to disable 2 boxes. I did that, however the system still created a second version. No more feedback from support. When I uploaded new videos, I suddenly received an error message and the videos could not be played at all. The answer from support was that I had to check a box (that was one of the two that I had to uncheck to prevent a second version from being created). When I asked support, the answer was that I should just buy a second code. Nice answer... It would be helpful if that is written in the description: stack codes because the system automatically creates versions and you will need the storage space.
The positive about Publitio is that the upload is really fast and you can also create a preset for an upload. Embedding works fine.
Great video hosting, but the support messages with different details and no clear instructions make me doubt if I will use the service for further online courses.

We have written extensively how storage space is calculated and consumed https://support.publit.io/hc/en-us/articles/360013454738-Storage-space-consumption-calculation
You have option to disable this behaviour on account level, but this is intended for advanced users, once you know how publit.io system works - this is why we advise to leave this options to ON so system could create necessary version and everything will work as expected and to avoid this type of issues with support.
By the way answer was, if you are worried about storage space, to stack more codes, as really you are trying to over optimise something that is already optimised for fair use, which has lead to unpredictable behaviour of your videos.
