Kajabi Video Hosting - What Video Platform Does Kajabi Use?

Kajabi lets you add videos to your pages and courses to create visually appealing content.

But did you know that it doesn’t have a video hosting capability? Because of that, the platform partnered with Wistia to store and optimize videos for your audience.

Let’s discuss how this collaboration works. I’ll also share the different ways to upload your videos inside Kajabi.

How Does Kajabi Video Hosting Work?

Kajabi and Wistia work together in the back end, so you don’t have to do anything complex on your part.

As you upload your file on Kajabi, Wistia will convert it to multiple video formats that support different devices regardless of their connection.

While processing in the background, Wistia provides a quick copy of your video so that you can see it while the platform creates a better-quality video that you can share with your audience.

Usually, the optimized video takes 30 minutes to upload, and your internet connection might affect the upload speed.

While in the process of doing so, Kajabi will show you a message saying “Converting” and “Storing: to tell you where they are at the process.

This process doesn’t charge you an extra fee, so you don’t have to worry about anything and get a great result from this partnership.

Kajabi Video Hosting for Live Videos(New!)

But what if you want to engage your audience with a live video? Does Wistia video hosting cover this too?

Wistia doesn’t have this feature. But Kajabi provides two different ways for its users.

First, you can use Kajabi’s Built-in Live Video feature inside the coaching product. This is ideal for one-on-one sessions with your member.

The other way is to create an event on Kajabi, go live on Youtube, and paste the link to your event’s video content. It’s a great method if you expect more live video viewers.

Uploading Videos for Kajabi Product

Kajabi only accepts video file sizes of up to 4GB. If your video exceeds this, you’ll need to compress it using a third-party application.
