Why marketing teams host their own video
The video is often the most expensive asset in a launch. Where it plays decides whether it does its job.
A free player sends visitors away
Embed a launch film from a free video site and it arrives with that site's logo, a link out, and suggested videos at the end, sometimes a competitor's. The visitor you paid to bring to your page gets a reason to leave it.
The film should look like the rest of the page
A product page is designed down to the pixel. The player in the middle of it should carry your brand, not someone else's.
Launch traffic is spiky and global
A launch, a press hit, or a recorded keynote can bring a year's worth of views in a week, from anywhere. The film has to start quickly for all of them, and the bill shouldn't change with the country they're in.
What a launch month costs
A two-minute launch film played 100,000 times in a month, watched for 90 seconds on average in Full HD, alongside a 50 GB library of demos and event recordings.

What stays yours, and what we take on
Your team keeps the creative and the site. We take care of getting the film to every screen.
- Your website and landing pagesstays yours
The player goes on the pages you already build, in your CMS or your app. Visitors stay on your page from the first frame to the last.
- Your brand on the playerstays yours
No ads, no other logos, and no suggested videos from anyone else when your film ends.
- Your original filesstays yours
Upload the master from your editor or import it from a link to wherever your agency delivered it. You can take it with you at any time.
- Preparing the film for every screenwe handle it
Each upload is prepared in several qualities, up to 4K, with a thumbnail, at no charge. No export presets to argue about.
- Playback on every devicewe handle it
The same film plays on phones, laptops, tablets, and smart TVs, and steps down to a lighter version on a weak connection instead of freezing.
- Fixing a mistake after launchwe handle it
Replace or take down a video and the change applies straight away, so a wrong cut doesn't keep playing after you've fixed it.

When we are not the right home for your video
Four cases where another tool will serve your team better:
- You want lead-capture forms, calls to action, and A/B tests built into the player itself. That is a marketing-automation video tool's job, not ours.
- You need viewer reports and engagement heatmaps today. Viewer analytics are coming soon, and we won't claim them until they ship.
- The goal is discovery on a public video site. Post there as well; we're for the copy that plays on your own pages.
- You're streaming a launch event live. ZeroBuffer is built for recorded video today; upload the recording when the event ends.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from embedding a YouTube video?
- YouTube is a destination: it shows ads, recommends other channels' videos, and puts its own brand on the player. ZeroBuffer hosts and streams your videos so they play on your own website or app, under your name, with none of that.
- Will the film look sharp on big screens and still load on phones?
- Yes. Every upload is prepared in several qualities, up to 4K. Each viewer receives the best quality their screen and connection can handle, and the player switches to a lighter version instead of freezing.
- Can our agency upload directly?
- Yes. Add them as team members with the permissions they need, or import their delivery straight from a link.
- What happens if a launch goes viral?
- Nothing changes except the number of views. There are no plans, view caps, or overage tiers to hit; you pay for the video that was watched at the same rate in every country.
- What does it cost?
- You pay for the video your viewers watch: about $0.011 per hour of Full HD (1080p at 5 Mbps), the same in every country. Preparing videos is free, storing them is $0.01 per GB a month, and there are no plans, contracts, or per-view fees.
- Can we see who watched?
- Viewer analytics are coming soon. Until then, the page analytics you already run will show visits to the pages where the player sits.
