I love how easy it is to replace videos on Wistia. It saves so much time not having to re-embed videos when we have minor tweaks to make to our content.

I don't dislike much about Wistia. I had to make a suggestion, it would be great if you could download uploaded thumbnail files.

I can't think of any downsides to Wistia.

"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.

"Great Tool for Content Management!"
What do you like best about Wistia?

Wistia helps keep track of videos we use for our clients and marketing. I don't know what we would do without it, honestly. I love the embed feature, especially for creating knowledge bases and other assets.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

The only trouble I have had is with managing permissions on the pages. Sometimes we need to give permissions for a singular folder to an 3rd party and it sometimes doesn't work the first go around without giving them full permissions.

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

Wistia solves an organization problem, formatting problem (embed), and also allows us to keep everything in one place which is awesome compared to scattering things throughout individual google drives throughout the company!

"Wistia is a great platform!"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I really love working with the Wistia platform. I have been using it for a number of years now and all the features Wistia have are really easy to use. They are constantly listening to customer feedback and adding more great features. The support is always fantastic too. Really nice to deal with.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

I would love to see more analytics on the podcast side but I hear there are plans for more in this area so hopefully they will roll this out soon.

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

We needed more control over our videos on our website, playlists and customization of embedded forms and CTAs. It is benefiting as an easy place to manage and host videos, see analytics and add leads straight into our CRM from CTAs and embedded forms. Very powerful platform.

"User-Friendly Video Hosting, Excellent Compatibility and Organizational Features"
What do you like best about Wistia?

The quality of the videos maintained upon upload is perfect. There are great organizational features, settings for public and private sharing, and compatibility when using across platforms.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

I would like to see even more organizational features and perhaps a change in aesthetics while maintaining its user-friendly interface. Otherwise, the host does exactly what its meant to.

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

Storing large video files in a way that can be either public or private, allowing users to import videos directly from Wistia to websites, emails, and other platforms that allow for custom coding.

"Great for Work and Collaboration"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I'm a tech writer and my teammate is an instructional designer; we use Wistia to leave feedback and discuss content, and I love how easy Wistia makes this with the time stamp feature, so we always know exactly what point in the video we're talking about. I also love being able to download audio transcripts to be able to revise for the documentation I write.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

I really enjoy Wistia, so I feel like my complaints are limited to nitpicks like having to re-enter my name every time I leave a comment on a video. The way videos are organized does sometimes confuse me.

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

My team is fully remote, so Wista makes it easy to collaborate on projects together. It also eliminates the need for me to take down audio transcripts myself since I can download them from Wistia--it saves me a huge amount of time.
