3. Lack of a Standard Format for Web Videos

Different web browsers support different file formats except for chrome which supports all major video formats. For other web browsers, you may have to convert your videos into different formats like mp4 and webM, so your videos can easily be uploaded and viewed by your audience. This means preparing and uploading different video files that will surely take up a lot of file size.

4. Freezing of Your Videos

As members of your audience try to download or watch your videos, it will take a longer time to load. When they try to watch the videos, they may find that it breaks often.

5. Converting Your Videos

Some of your audience members will watch your videos on PCs and they can even stream large HD quality files. But you need to remember that a lot of your audience uses their mobile devices to watch videos.

So, you will need to create lower resolutions for that category of the audience to make it possible and much easier for them to watch your videos. This will increase the number and size of files you will be uploading onto your site’s server.

With all these different video formats on your site, you will need to install a WordPress video player that will help you deliver the right video file for your audience. This also requires creating shortcodes to help the video players understand the different video formats and their locations on the server.

As you convert your videos into different file formats, so will their viewing quality be different. This means while some of your audience will be able to enjoy the quality of your videos, some others may not. Even when they try to playback the videos, the result comes up differently for different browsers.
