Transcoding

Once uploaded, your videos will begin processing and transcoding. Transcoding allows your videos to load at multiple resolutions on different browser sizes for optimum video playback across devices. This process may take anywhere from a few minutes or longer depending on the size of the video uploaded.

Note: Transcoding causes video files you upload to take up additional storage space. For example, a 1GB video file will take up more than 1GB in your account storage when transcoded due to additional resolutions the video is rendered in during playback.
