Overall experience with Video Hosting was good. From uploading videos to Analysing the Audience engagement, were all easy and reliable. Embedding videos was Easy and fast. Viewer Audience can use CAST option for screen sharing directly, which we liked.

Pros

First of all I liked its simple and clean working Interface. Uploading and Managing videos or video playlists, Publishing videos and analysing them are all included in Home Page itself, which I liked. Embedding or publishing videos in Websites was very helpful. Video hosting and delivering content was quite flexible and with low cost. Video Control bar is customisable with many colours which I think might impress viewers. So, JW player will be an good option for smooth Video Hosting.

Cons

I don't remember any issues or problems while using it. I think they can update few more features to make video hosting more advance.
