Quick start

Updated September 26, 2026

This guide takes you from a new account to a video playing on your site in a few minutes.

1. Create your account

Go to pellio.io/app/sign-up. Pellio creates a workspace for you straight away. A workspace holds your videos, your team and your settings. You can create more workspaces later from the workspace switcher at the top left.

2. Upload a video

In Library, click Upload video or drop files anywhere on the page. Files go straight from your browser to Pellio’s storage and start processing as soon as they arrive. Short videos are usually ready within a minute or two; the card shows Ready when it’s done.

Already have videos on Vimeo, Wistia or elsewhere? Use Import instead. See Importing videos.

3. Share or embed it

Open the video and go to the Embed & share tab:

  • Copy embed code gives you a responsive <iframe> for any website builder or CMS.
  • Copy share link gives you a page with just your video, for email, chat or social posts. Paste it into any oEmbed-aware editor and it becomes a player.

On WordPress, install the Pellio plugin and use the Pellio block instead; see WordPress plugin.
