SproutVideo’s services

On-demand video hosting

Live streaming

SproutVideo supports live video broadcasting and delivery. Hosted pages can also be used for live streams, giving viewers a place to watch.

Video marketing and engagement

Marketing tools include lead capture, calls to action, integrations, video SEO and viewer analytics. Reports can help teams understand how audiences engage with video.

Secure video sharing

Access controls include passwords, viewer logins, and domain or IP restrictions. These options are intended for organizations that need to limit who can watch their content.

Video pages and landing pages

SproutVideo offers hosted pages for individual videos, playlists and live streams. Teams can use them to present video content without building a separate viewing page for each item.

Servers and support

SproutVideo lists CDN edge-server locations across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, South America, the Middle East and Africa. Its location list was last updated on April 22, 2024. These are CDN locations; the physical locations of the underlying origin data centres are not confirmed.

Support is available by email and website live chat. SproutVideo says email support is available at any time and live chat operates during US East Coast business hours. Its knowledge base is available at any time. The terms limit technical support to paying account holders; some customers can request a phone call with a dedicated representative.

Who should consider SproutVideo?

SproutVideo may suit businesses, publishers and organizations that need private video sharing, live streams, branded viewing pages or engagement analytics. It is less likely to suit someone seeking ordinary website hosting or a simple, public video destination. Teams should also compare plan allowances with their expected storage and viewing use.
