Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Presto Player

Presto Player offers multiple hosting location options for your web-optimized videos. With our free version you can self-host your video or use YouTube or Vimeo. Our Pro version includes deep integration with Bunny.net. In addition, any video host that gives you a public link to the video can be used with Presto Player, including HLS streams. Learn How
Presto Player works with all page builders — add a video to the Media Hub and use the provided shortcode in any builder. Presto Player also includes native Gutenberg blocks and dedicated Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Divi modules.
Yes, it most certainly does! And just like everything else we do, it's very easy to use. Head on over to our integrations page to see how easy it is.
When you create a video that you want to display on your website, it first needs to be transcoded in a web-optimized format. When using a service such as YouTube, you can upload a video in any format and YouTube will transcode it for you. However, when you are self-hosting your video or using one of our integrations such as Bunny.net, you first need to transcode your video. It's a very simple and easy process that we have created an easy-to-follow tutorial for. However, if you skip this step your video viewers will most likely have issues with video playback.
There are many caption creation services available. We use HappyScribe because we like the interface and features they provide, but you can use any captioning service. Your captions need to be exported in the industry standard VTT format.
Presto Player Pro offers a public and private video option. Private videos are only accessible when a user is logged into your website. In addition Presto Player will use dynamic expiring links to your private videos. In cases where someone may want to dig through the HTML on your web page where a video is to try and find the URL, that URL will not work.
One of the main advantages of using Presto Player is our integration with Bunny.net to store and deliver your media. Presto Player will set everything up for you, and the cost is low — you pay Bunny.net only for storage and bandwidth, as outlined below. You will be paying for 2 things: storage and bandwidth. Storage will cost between $0.01 – $0.03 per gigabyte stored per month. To give you an example, I have two online courses and combined all the videos take up 0.69 gigabytes. So my anticipated cost per month is $0.03 to store the videos with them. The next cost is for bandwidth. If you have 1 video that is 10 megabytes, each time that video is fully viewed it will consume 10 megabytes of bandwidth. The cost of bandwidth is $0.005 per gigabyte transferred. So if you use 100 gigabytes of bandwidth per month, you will be paying $0.50 per month. See our Bunny.net cost calculator. It is also important to point out that Bunny.net has a $1 per month minimum.
We take plugin security extremely seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it in a safe and responsible manner. You can report the issue through our Bug Bounty Program.
