Patreon Video to end YouTube and Vimeo duopoly on membership platform.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Patreon has officially rolled out its native video hosting platform - a year after it was first revealed.

Patreon Video is designed to give content creators more control over their output and help increase fan engagement.

And according to the popular membership platform, Patreon Video is the first video product built specifically for creators needs and focused directly on the creator-to-fan relationship. What is Patreon Video and whats in it for content creators?

Patreon Video is a video uploader and player thats native to the platform. Before the release, creators on the site had to use third-party video tools like YouTube and Vimeo. That comes with its own issues - not least the inefficiency of using multiple platforms.

What makes Patreons video set-up different is that its entirely ad-free. The company claims that this allows for monetizing and sharing content the community actually wants, rather than what opaque algorithms dictate.

The service lets users upload videos of unlimited length, create custom thumbnails, save play states, and even picture-in-picture mode when viewed on mobile devices. Videos can also be cast via iOS Airplay , with Chromecast support scheduled for a future update. Read More

expect should they join.

Back when the video tool was initially announced, Patreon CEO Jack Conte told The Verge , were building the horizontal architecture for any creator, no matter their medium, or no matter the upload format, to be able to build a business around their work.
