I am asking this question on SO because a similar question was asked here and migrated to SuperUser, but the answers it got there were more about screen sharing than hosting screencasts. I’m hoping that some of you have faced (and solved) this issue before…
My team is putting together a bunch of technical screencasts, and we are currently hosting them ourselves. We would much prefer to host them externally, to take advantage of a bigger pipe, geographically distributed data centers, and better uptime.
The screencasts are typically less than 10 minutes.
Is there a programmer-centric screencast hosting solution? Would you recommend YouTube? Vimeo? Something else?
While Vimeo is more of a professional site, YouTube offers HTML5 / H.264 video playback support for all videos, so they’ll play on iPhone. Vimeo currently doesn’t support that on user videos, and is planning on adding it as a pro feature in the future.
