It is easy to add videos to your Rocketspark website. Upload your videos to either Vimeo or YouTube first and then add them to your website.
We use Vimeo and YouTube to embed videos onto your website because these services have expertise in distributing video content and provide good viewing experiences. This also means that your website storage limit is not used up by videos.
