Taped feature

Host Videos

Private video hosting with adaptive streaming — upload once, play flawlessly everywhere.

Taped gives every creator and team a secure home for video. Upload files up to 4K or capture directly in the browser, and every video is automatically transcoded into adaptive multi-bitrate HLS so viewers get instant, buffer-free playback on any device. Your library stays organized, searchable, and protected — with 2GB free storage to start.

Why it matters

What host videos gives you

Upload anything up to 4K

Drag and drop MP4, WebM, MOV and more. Large files upload reliably with progress tracking and resume-friendly handling.

Automatic adaptive HLS transcoding

Every upload is transcoded into multi-bitrate HLS renditions. Viewers auto-switch quality based on bandwidth — no buffering, no manual exports.

Organized, searchable library

All uploads live in your dashboard library with thumbnails, status tracking, and instant preview. Find any video in seconds.

Fast playback anywhere

HLS segments stream over CDN-backed storage, so videos start fast on mobile, desktop, and low-bandwidth networks alike.

Private by default

New uploads are private until you decide otherwise. Share selectively, sell access, or publish publicly — nothing leaks by accident.

Built-in watch analytics

Every hosted video tracks views, watch time, retention, and exactly who watched — see Video Analytics for the full picture.

2GB free to start

Every account includes 2GB of free cloud storage with no credit card required. Upgrade to 50GB, 200GB, or unlimited as you grow.

Answers, upfront

Host Videos — FAQs

What video formats and resolutions can I host?

You can upload common formats such as MP4, WebM, and MOV, including resolutions up to 4K. Taped transcodes each upload into adaptive multi-bitrate HLS renditions and never upscales beyond the source quality.

How much storage do I get for free?

Every account includes 2GB of free cloud storage with no credit card required. Paid plans expand this to 50GB, 200GB, or unlimited storage for teams and heavy publishers.

Will my videos buffer on slow connections?

No. Adaptive HLS streaming automatically serves the best rendition for each viewer's bandwidth and device, so playback stays smooth on mobile networks as well as broadband.

Are my hosted videos private?

Yes. New uploads are private by default. You explicitly choose whether a video stays private, is shared with selected email addresses, or is published publicly.

Can I see who watched my videos?

Yes. Every hosted video includes built-in analytics: views, unique viewers, total and average watch time, completion rate, and a who-watched list that identifies logged-in viewers by name and email. See Video Analytics for details.
