Cloud Video Hosting
Move heavy video files away from WordPress to protect speed and storage.
YouTube Embed
Best free option for long videos and livestreams.
Cloudinary / Bunny / Vimeo
Better for controlled creator video delivery.
WordPress Uploads
Use only for MVP/testing, not heavy scaling.
Recommended MVP Flow
1. Upload long videos to YouTube/Vimeo/Bunny.
2. Paste video URL inside post caption.
3. Use Opus Shift for discovery, comments, monetization and creator profiles.
4. Upgrade later to full cloud video API.
