YouTube is such a great tool for showing videos because the storage and bandwidth are free. That’s so hard to beat that a lot of companies just opt for showcasing their online video content with a YouTube channel. The only problem is that doesn’t allow for adapting the videos for other, highly important marketing efforts. Despite the fact that many see that as being the lesser of two evils (the other being the prohibitive fees associated with other platforms), this approach doesn’t sit very well with marketers who know that online video content could be a more powerful part of the sales funnel.

What many have been waiting for is a way to combine YouTube content and custom video players. This would give you access to the tools you need to work your branding magic without needing to invest in storage or bandwidth.

Vitomy now offers a subscription that lets users design custom video players exclusively for their YouTube content. It only costs $9.99 a month and includes all the player design power of the Premium version.

Using YouTube content in your branded videos does have its drawbacks. For one thing, YouTube’s display of “related” videos still shows up at the end of a video, posing the risk of distraction from your message. For another, YouTube does sometimes place ads inside video playback windows. some brands don’t need all that control. If all you need is a way to skin your content with branded imagery and calls to action, the YouTube Only option might be the way to go.
