A: Hello,

Thanks for the question.

We appreciate the question.

As mentioned to others, Swarmify works a little differently than most video hosts. We believe you should be in possession of your original files at all times and we pull a copy from a variety of original source locations of your choice. Most customers keep their original files in some type of online location/bucket anyway.

So when you publish a video to your website, you merely point Swarmify to where that original files lives. Then the platform fetches a copy of that file one time, processes 5-10 encodings of each for all desktop and mobile devices, stores those various encodes on a global delivery network, and accelerates playback in our clean, lightweight player to your end-users.

Here's a list of those source locations we are compatible with (including publishing tutorials) in addition to automatic YouTube and Vimeo conversions.
