"Great platform for recording and sharing"
What do you like best about Wistia?

It's very easy to use Soapbox+Wistia to make screen/video capture videos. They can be immediately downloaded and shared via Wistia, which has great, built-in options to share online.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

The uploads can sometimes take a long time, depending on the length of the video. The customization options for the built in landing page are pretty limited. They get the job done, but don't allow much to make it really stand out.

What problems is Wistia solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are offering more live webinar support that pairs well with their recording hosting. This could help by consolidating more of our marketing onto one platform.

"Stepping Up our Video Content Production with Wistia!"
What do you like best about Wistia?

Wistia has been an easy tool for our teams to use for quickly recording, sharing, and storing video content. We do a lot of product instruction viritually, and it's allowed our chat support team to share solutions with our clients seamlessly. It's also helped us move away from more archaic forms of video storage, and the analytics beat the pants out of Zoom as well. It's been a great addition to our tech stack!

What do you dislike about Wistia?

We really like the tool! We've had no real issues using it but we would love to have it integrate more actively with Monday.com, as that's where we are managing most of our content creation these days.

What problems is Wistia solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's allowed us to have a robust and flexible video recording and sharing tool that helps us create professional-looking content for our customers and education courses. A real value add!

I like the Wistia is so user-friendly. It does the basics of what I need, and the more I use it I find features that are easy to add. My favourite part is the display and the fact that you can replace an existing video with an update in mere seconds. I highly recommend Wistia!!

I really can't think of anything. It's fantastic!!

"Wistia improved a lot the process of sharing videos on my company's website."

Wistia is easy to use and I can upload big videos in a few minutes and check how they perform. Customization is another important upside of Wistia that allows me to add thumbnails, links, chapters, captions and more.

I'd love to group better the analytics per projects and not only per videos.

What problems is Wistia solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Use regularly with class"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I like that I can see how many people viewed the video. This helps ensure that students are watching the materials I posted and benefiting from the information.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

I wish I could see statistics for when students stop watching a video (YouTube has this feature). This can help me encourage people to go back and finish the whole thing.

What problems is Wistia solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like that videos can be edited now and the auto-captions are easy to generate, I don't fix them, but it's nice to know I could if I wanted to. I use this platform mainly for teaching so accessibility is important.
