3. You can store your videos on Amazon S3 or any other cloud host and add the links manually.

= What video format do I need? = It is recommended to add at least two video formats so that the video plays on as many browsers as possible. By default Flowplayer attempts to use HTML5 video, and if it's not supported then Flash (9.0+) and MP4 is used. MP4 is enough for complete browser support, but providing WebM video gives you broader support for HTML5 video which is the preferred technology.

= Why use Flowplayer when there is video support since WordPress 3.6? =

Flowplayer HTML5 for WordPress provides a video management system where you can manage all of your video from a central place. You do not need to remember all of the shortcode configuration attributes, you can simply configure the videos form within the options. We are continuously adding further features to the plugin.

= Why can I not see the video that I just uploaded to Flowplayer Drive? =

It takes some time for the video to be processed. The plugin fetches the video links from Flowplayer.org and the results are cached. The cache is refreshed every 15 minutes.

= How do I load Flowplayer assets locally when using Flowplayer Commercial? =

If you want to load the Flowplayer assets (JS, CSS and SWF) for your site then you can download the files from your account. Create a new folder flowplayer-commercial in wp-content. Place the files in this new folder. The option in the settings to use Flowplayer CDN should be disabled
