Upload a video directly from your admin interface, via email, or through one of many WordPress mobile clients. Simply click the video attachment button from your new post screen to add video content into a new blog post.
VideoPress transcodes your uploaded video into the most popular playback methods for desktop, mobile, and home entertainment software. We maintain your original aspect ratio and frame rates while creating up to three resolutions (400, 640, and 1280 pixel widths) in MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) and Ogg (Theora video, Vorbis audio) formats. We optimize every new video for visual and audio quality while still maintaining quick download times and wide playback compatibility.
VideoPress works with popular video subscription software such as iTunes, Miro, or Zune. We deliver high-quality video to your viewers’ desktops, mobile handsets, and television to help you connect with your audience wherever and whenever they desire.
Track video impressions, total downloads, seconds of video played, and the viral growth of your video inside your WordPress Stats interface. Compare statistics from your posts, referrers, and video actions inside a single integrated interface. We also support third-party statistics platforms such as Quantcast.
VideoPress supports videos up to two hours in length and uploads up to 2 GB in size. Your video platform should not limit your storytelling or creativity.
Not everyone wants their videos to spread all over the web. VideoPress helps you restrict your content to your own sites or sites you select. Embeds, feed enclosures and other sharing options are completely optional. Our video player verifies each website displaying your videos has been explicitly granted permissions (if you choose to restrict your content).
Every VideoPress video is securely stored in multiple datacenters across the United States (Chicago, Dallas and San Antonio) and around the world through our multiple content delivery network (CDN) partners. Your videos are almost instantly available to a worldwide audience.
