Businesses are using YouTube to embed video online. This is a terrible idea as YouTube embeds are ad-monetized, branded and function as a direct portal to YouTube - the "dead end of the internet".

Vidyard solves these problems and allows businesses to customize the viewing experience. We offer multiple embed options, professional serving, real-time actionable analytics, chaptering/playlisting and call to action integration.

We aren't just YouTube for business. We're video for business.
