Adding a video component to your website is a new, cutting edge technique that will make your website stick out from the rest. There is currently a huge demand for video creations online.
Most people like to watch things happen, rather than just read or hear about them. Many options exist for the delivery of video content but streaming video is the best format.
There are several reasons why streaming video is the best delivery method:
• Video starts playing sooner. Time is a valuable commodity. Many people will not wait for video to load, especially if it is something they are not sure about.
However, if the video loads quickly, their attention can be caught and they will use the valuable minutes to listen to what you have to say.
• Uses less of the viewer’s memory or disk space. Streaming video is embedded in the website. The viewer does not have to download the information and save it to their computer in order to watch it. These are huge advantages as people do not like to give up disk space and are fearful that unknown downloaded materials may cause viruses.
• More secure delivery. Streaming video protects your content. Because the viewer cannot download your video, they also cannot illegally share it with others.
• Ability for multiuser streaming. Streaming video provides the platform that enables videos chat, video messaging and video conferencing.
The best source for video streaming is flash video. Flash video provides a powerful, flexible medium for streaming video. There are several advantages to utilizing flash video as your streaming source.
These include:
• Cross-platform technology. This means your video will play on approximately 98% of all computers, whether they are a Mac or PC. It is the closest to a universal media player and is installed on almost every computer worldwide.
• Easily embedded into a web page. Flash video is very easy to use with your existing webpage. It is integrated on the web page and not as a separate, pop-up experience which can be a turn-off to your web viewers.
• Small in size. Flash video does not take up a lot of space on your server and no space on your visitor’s server.
Streaming video provides a complete, consistent delivery option for your video content. Video content as an integral part of your website cannot be ignored. It is cutting edge and having it included will put your site ahead of the rest.
Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Fortunately, streaming video combined with flash video makes embedding video content on your website easy. Don’t overlook this powerful media content to attract website visitors.
