Email attachments bounce when a video is too big, and uploading to YouTube means ads, recommended videos, and a public listing you may not want. Hosting the video at its own link skips all of that: drop it into cloud71 and you get a tidy URL like yourname.cloud71.site that plays instantly in any browser, on any device.
Because your video now lives at a real link instead of a platform feed, you can put it on your own domain, lock it behind a password, capture leads from it, and see exactly how many people pressed play.

Common questions
Upload the video to cloud71 and you instantly get a shareable URL that plays in the browser. Nothing to install, nothing to configure — drag, drop, and share the link.
Host it. Unlike a YouTube upload, a hosted video has no ads, no recommended videos, and no public listing — just your clip at a clean URL you control.
Web-native formats play directly in the browser. MP4 (H.264) is the safest choice for the widest device support; WebM and MOV work too. When in doubt, export as MP4.
It depends on your plan's storage. The free plan is best for short clips and demos; paid plans add room for longer videos. cloud71 hosts the file as-is — it doesn't re-encode or compress it, so export at a sensible size first.
No. Anyone with the link can play the video in their browser — no login, download, or app required.
Yes. On paid plans you can lock any video behind a password to share rough cuts or private footage with specific people.
Absolutely. Point a domain like watch.yourbrand.com at the video with automatic SSL — included on every plan, even free.
Yes. Built-in analytics show visits and referrers with no tracking setup and no cookie banner.
