Not all educational tech platforms have video hosting because of server hosting and transfer bandwidth costs and complexity.
Key Takeaways:
- For maximum efficiency, the Kajabi platform doesn’t host videos.
- Still, the Kajabi team has partnered with Wistia to host all the video content with no additional charges or hassle.
By outsourcing to Wistia, you also get its marketing strengths, giving you enhanced video hosting capabilities for your work.
