What is HostMyVideo?
Direct answer
Q: What is HostMyVideo?
A: HostMyVideo is the only premium video host that exposes your transcript, chapters, and Schema.org VideoObject data on every public watch page — so Google reads every word and ranks the video, not just plays it.
Most video hosts hide your content behind iframes Google can't read.
HostMyVideo exposes VideoObject schema, Clip arrays for Google Key Moments, and your full transcript directly on the public watch page. Result: your videos rank — they don't just play.
- VideoObject JSON-LD with title, thumbnail, duration, upload date
- Clip array → Google's “Key moments” thumbnails in search results
- Whisper transcript embedded in the page so crawlers index spoken words
- AI chapters double as section anchors and timestamped deep links
Slow video = slow conversions.
Every second of LCP delay drops conversion by roughly 7%. Most video players add 400–800ms before the page can even paint. We rebuilt the embed from scratch so your hero loads instantly and your Core Web Vitals stay green — with the same player your viewers expect.

Our default embed weighs less than a favicon. The player loads only when a viewer presses play.

What is HostMyVideo?
HostMyVideo is a premium video hosting platform that ships a 2KB lite embed and exposes VideoObject schema, transcripts, and chapter clips on every public watch page so your videos can rank in Google search — not just play on it.
Do my videos get indexed by Google?
Yes. Every public watch page (/v/[id]) emits VideoObject JSON-LD with the full transcript, a Clip array Google uses for Key Moments, and your AI-generated chapters. Crawlers read every word — most other hosts hide this behind iframes Google can't read.
How does the AI work?
When Bunny.net finishes encoding your upload, we automatically run OpenAI Whisper for the transcript and GPT-4o-mini for the summary, chapter markers, and an auto-generated title. Total AI cost lands around $0.05 to $0.10 per video.
Where are my videos actually hosted?
On Bunny.net Stream — a global edge CDN with 100+ PoPs. We use it for transcoding to HLS adaptive bitrate plus MP4 fallback, and for low-latency playback worldwide (median time-to-first-frame under 1.2s).
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, full Pro features, no credit card required. You can also stay on the Free plan forever (5 videos, 10 GB storage, 50 GB bandwidth/mo) if you only need the basics.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are month-to-month — cancel from Settings → Billing in one click. Your videos keep playing through the end of the billing period and you can export everything before the account closes.
What languages does the auto-translation support?
We auto-translate subtitles into 50+ languages. The original transcript is generated in the source language, then GPT-4o-mini translates the WebVTT output on demand — no per-language fee.
What happens if I exceed my plan limits?
We email you at 80% and 100% of your storage or bandwidth cap and never auto-charge an overage. You can upgrade in one click, downgrade later, or sit at the cap until the next billing cycle resets.
