A Modern Video Player & Very Generous Storage Offering For The Price -- Makes This Deal Appealing
I like Viqeo so far as a platform. I think their storage offerings are VERY generous for the price (I just tiered up), and I can't wait to see what they do next; time will tell how fast the videos play on our websites, landing pages, etc.
While the platform is a bit confusing at first (I believe they are continually improving this), I think their video player looks extremely modern when it is embedded. Even with this being said, their platform is STILL easier to navigate than some of the other guys (a past video deal on here).
I would like to see the logo size bigger for our logos on the videos (I think I read in the questions that they're working on this), and I'm not sure why they are in SVG format only when PNG could have worked, too.
Also, when embedded on my site, the story format looks SUPER huge. When embedding in WordPress, you don't actually see the video (just like a javascript placeholder) until you preview or publish, but that may be something I have to reach out to their team about. It's on my list of things to do.
Overall, I'm satisfied with Viqeo at this moment and look forward to its continual evolution. I don't think it would hurt anyone to cop at least one code if they need video hosting (at the very least). Especially if you want your own videos and not YT referring to other ppl's videos on your video. I haven't delved into the polls or advertising yet, so that is something I'm looking forward to working with.
I'll give 'em five tacos because I feel they will keep progressing.

API is a semi-flexible, now you have to add all settings directly in JSON, but we are working to make templates for API directly from created videos.
