The Video Hosting Platform for Your Website

Keep every viewer on your site with a clean, 100% white-label player — no ads, no logos, no off-site links. Set up in 5 minutes. Plans from $19/mo.

Decorative product motion, muted by default — an ambient music bed plays only if unmuted, with no narration. An ad-cluttered video player sheds its clutter and becomes a clean, unbranded SmartVideo player, which plays a video and adapts from a desktop layout to a phone in landscape. Looping.

Is Your Current Video Hosting Costing You Visitors?

01 · Slow

Slow embeds lose viewers before your video even starts.

Standard YouTube and Vimeo embeds add significant weight to your page—heavy third-party iframes and scripts. That’s enough to lose visitors before your video even plays. SmartVideo delivers from a video CDN with 125+ edge locations close to every viewer.

02 · Expensive

Traffic spikes shouldn’t come with a surprise bill.

Most platforms charge by the GB or throttle you onto a pricier tier the moment traffic climbs. SmartVideo includes unlimited bandwidth on every plan—no per-GB data charges and no throttling, even when a post goes viral.

03 · Distracting

YouTube embeds send your audience to someone else’s platform.

Every YouTube embed includes a logo, recommended videos, and a direct link off your site. SmartVideo is a 100% white-label video player—no logos, no suggested videos pulling visitors away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SmartVideo?

SmartVideo is a video hosting platform built for websites. It replaces slow, ad-heavy YouTube and Vimeo embeds with a fast, ad-free player backed by a global CDN with 125+ edge locations. One script, no configuration.

How is SmartVideo different from YouTube embeds?

YouTube embeds add third-party branding, show competitor videos in "suggested" slots, and add measurable weight to page load time. SmartVideo is fast, shows zero ads or third-party branding, and keeps every visitor on your site. Full comparison →

Does YouTube show ads on embedded videos?

Yes. Since a November 2020 Terms of Service update, YouTube can run ads on any embedded video—including videos from channels that aren’t monetized—and the site owner receives none of the ad revenue. SmartVideo embeds are 100% ad-free.

Does SmartVideo work with WordPress?

Yes. SmartVideo includes a WordPress plugin with native blocks for Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and Bricks. It also auto-converts existing Vimeo embeds on your pages — no re-uploading required.

What about Shopify, Squarespace, or other platforms?

SmartVideo works on any website that supports a script tag — including Shopify, Squarespace, WooCommerce, and custom HTML/React/Astro sites. Add one line and you are live.

Is there a free trial?
