Overall Satisfaction with Wistia

Right now I store my videos there and I also run online classes by embedding my Wistia videos in my website where my students can download them. I love that Wistia allows me to have the video come to the fore while the rest of the screen goes dark and I also love that I am able to use the turnstile if I want.

The problem that it solves for me is that that I can have private videos there that I only let paying people see.
  • It's so easy to use and that is important to me--I'm not techy and I need stuff that I can learn fast.
  • It's got great bells and whistles. The videos look so professional--it's easy to put on a thumbnail and to make the player do what you want.
  • Turnstile is great for capturing email addresses.
  • I haven't really used it enough to have any complaints. I'm not techy, as I already said, so I don't know what Wistia could do better. They are thoroughly likable people. Customer service is good. They've got some great energy going, a good blog, and a product that does everything I've asked it to do. Now, I'm not doing a lot with it so I haven't been too demanding. Others may be able to answer better and tell what the cons are.
  • Well, I definitely get my money's worth.
I can't really answer too well. It's perfect for me to host my online class lectures. I've never had any trouble with down time or any trouble of any kind.

I suppose it wouldn't be appropriate for playing solitaire on or for cooking a steak. You'd need to buy a solitaire program or a barbecue grill for those things. But when it comes to video hosting, Wistia is reliable, affordable, and easy to use.

Wistia Support

I think their site is so good that you can find all the help you need. I did contact them once and they were very helpful.
