Player & hosting

A player people enjoy.
No ads, no distractions.

Upload once and Pellio streams the right quality for every screen, in a player with your colours and logo. Nothing suggests someone else’s video when yours ends.

Embed anywhere

One embed code. Change everything else later.

Pick how the video should play and it takes effect straight away on every page it’s embedded on. Muted autoplay keeps the play button up with a “Click for sound” prompt that restarts the video with sound, so nobody misses the start.

  • Responsive iframe, fixed size, a web component or a popover that opens in a lightbox
  • Autoplay, loop, start time, captions and controls are saved on the video and apply to every embed, even ones already on your pages
  • Paste the share link into Workover, Notion, Slack or any oEmbed-aware editor
  • On WordPress, use the Pellio block or a shortcode

The player

Everything viewers expect, and a few things they don’t.

Built for watching, not for keeping people on a platform.

Adaptive streaming

HLS in several qualities, chosen for each viewer’s connection, with a scrub preview so people find their place.

Your brand

Your colour on the controls, your logo and watermark, corner radius and button style, saved as presets for folders of videos.

Captions and transcripts

Caption tracks in as many languages as you upload, and a searchable transcript viewers can click to jump to any line.

Chapters and playlists

Chapters on the progress bar and in the menu, and playlists that put a series of videos in one embed.

Every way to watch

Speed, picture-in-picture, AirPlay, Chromecast, fullscreen and keyboard shortcuts, and resume where you left off.

Background video

Silent, looping and chrome-free for hero sections, without a separate file or a heavy page.

Privacy and access

Public, private, or somewhere in between.

Decide who can watch each video, and where. WordPress sites you connect sign every embed, so members-only videos stay members-only.

  • Unlisted, private to your team, or password-protected
  • Plays only on your domains, so embed codes can’t be copied onto other sites
  • Expiring share links for one-off access
  • Geo-blocking and a viewer watermark on Advanced

Hosting

Files you can rely on.

Uploads that don’t give up

Resumable uploads straight from the browser, up to 20 GB per file. Replace a file later and every embed updates.

Signed playback

Video segments are served through short-lived signed links, so a copied manifest stops working.

Share pages

Every video has a clean page to share, with its transcript and chapters, and oEmbed so links unfurl as players.

Import your library

Import your Vimeo or Wistia library with titles, descriptions, captions and thumbnails, and link YouTube videos to play in Pellio’s player.

Team controls

Roles, folder-level access for freelancers and clients, two-factor sign-in and an audit log.

Fair-use bandwidth

Videos keep playing if you go over your plan’s monthly bandwidth, unless you choose to cap it.

Questions, answered

Does the player show ads or other people’s videos?+
No. Pellio never shows ads, and nothing plays after your video unless you add it: an end screen, a call to action or the next video in a playlist.
Can I change autoplay or captions without updating my embeds?+
Yes. How a video plays is saved on the video and read when the player loads, so changes reach every embed straight away. Add parameters to one embed’s URL to make just that one different.
What happens if I go over my bandwidth?+
Nothing changes for viewers: bandwidth is fair use and videos keep playing. You’ll get an email at 80% and 100% so you can decide, and you can opt in to pausing playback at the limit.
Can I keep a video off other people’s websites?+
Turn on “Only play on my allowed domains” and it plays only on the domains you list, your connected WordPress sites and its own Pellio page.
