A top-player in this space!
I've had a great experience using vooPlayer with my clients. Everyone loves the player!
PROSLove that you can create really beautiful, customizable players! The feature-set is also amazing as the vooplayer teams actively seeks feeback and feature suggestions which they readily implement if it makes sense! They have weekly webinars where you can come with any questions you have about implementing anything and the webinar host shows you right then and there how to implement it.
CONSThe only thing I find a bit disconcerting is the buffering of some embedded videos while you play it. That's kind of annoying. I've heard it has something to do with the CDN (or lack thereof). Fingers crossed that this is fixed soon.
Reasons for switching to Spotlightr
vooPlayer just seemed more modern and the rate of feature-implementation by vooPlayer was astounding and very commendable!

Perfect for displaying videos in online courses!
The MOST important feature in my mind: extraordinary customer support! I've asked them several questions, and every time, the answer is fast and thorough!
PROSWe evaluated a number of alternatives, from YouTube to AWS and several in between, but settled on Spotlightr. Our recommended tech stack includes WordPress and LearnDash, so Spotlightr fits in seamlessly. The most useful features, in my opinion:- ability to add questions during video, as overlays (several options)- inability for users to download the video (who knows what they'd do with it?!)- cost-effective, while having nice features such as custom branding and ability to stream from other services (though I prefer to use their streaming as well)
CONSI'd like for the upload speed to be faster, but it's just because I'm impatient!
Reason for choosing Spotlightr
Besides everything previously mentioned, the ability to embed questions within the video (and edit them easily in the future) was a game-changer.

very slow to load
lots of features. great idea in theory. excellent lifetime pricing deal offered occasionally
CONSAfter clicking Play, the videos take 4-6 seconds to start playing! This happens whether I upload the video directly to Vooplayer, or use it as a skin for a YouTube player. This is a confusing and terrible user experience and makes the software unusable for me as it stands. Very much hoping they fix this, as it seems pretty great otherwise. Also, small gripes - it's not clear which setting changes create a change in the embed code and require updating. - after editing a video, they don't just give you the embed code. you have to go back to the My Videos page, select the video and then copy the embed code from there. Would be much better to give me a one click to copy embed code button after making edits to the settings.

Wistia is too expensive, and their free version only allows 3 videos per account

Have used this over 2 years!
Spotlightr has been a blessing. Loaded features at ever more affordable rates has been the biggest selling points. Great software for someone looking to host their videos online!
PROSThe thing that sold us for spotlightr was its cost structure along with the features it provided. There were a lot! We were able to use the capture gates along with creating beautiful video embeds onto our website. It also has a great integration with multiple tools for example zapier.
CONSThe analytics sometimes tended to misrepresent what we thought should be the actual metrics.
Reason for choosing Spotlightr
Great bang for the buck along with the features and its popularity.

Couldn't Be Any More Satisfied
Truly amazing software and people... Can't recommend it enough.
PROSThe ease of use. The pricing is very fair and competitive with other top players in the industry. And above-all, their customer support, you can feel that they truly care about helping their customers.
CONSThere really isn't anything I can say off hand, but if I had a wishlist of things they or any company can improve in, its speed.... Because some of our viewers are located all over the world. Depending on where they are located, it may at times be slightly slow, but not enough to warrant any complaints.. As we are truly happy with everything, just speed is something I think we all can say is relevant in any product, industry, system.

This product/software just does the trick at a reasonable price and well, customer service is on point!
