The simplest way to host and manage training video in 2026
L&D teams accumulate hundreds of training videos but lack a good way to organize, secure, and measure them. Enterprise platforms like Panopto ($7,500/yr minimum, no self-serve) and Kaltura (opaque pricing, universally described as clunky) solve the scale problem but are expensive and complex. YouTube is free but offers no access control, no viewer-level analytics, and shows ads during training sessions. The real pain is findability — employees cannot search inside video content, so recordings become dead assets after the live session ends.
Bulk upload existing recordings or pull from cloud storage. Resumable TUS uploads handle large files reliably. Every video is auto-transcribed and auto-chaptered.
Group videos by topic or department. Set password protection, signed URLs, or domain locking to control who sees what.
Embed in your LMS, internal wiki, or intranet. Share direct links with password gates for specific teams. Works in Notion, Confluence, SharePoint, or any platform that supports iframe embeds.
Track views, watch time, and completion rates per video. See geographic and device breakdowns to understand how your distributed team engages.
Training video is only valuable if people can find what they need and you can verify they watched it. A searchable, chaptered video library with completion analytics turns passive recordings into an active knowledge base. It replaces the need to re-record content, schedule live sessions, or field repetitive questions when the answer already exists in a video.
Panopto is the L&D incumbent but requires $7,500/yr and has no self-serve plan. Kaltura offers similar features but is complex and expensive. YouTube is free but has no access control or viewer analytics. SharePoint can host video files but lacks transcoding, search, and engagement tracking.
