There are a number of issues to consider before adding lots of multimedia content to your website.

These include file transfer limits and streaming limits.

The type of file format you want to use may also not be permitted without changing the default Joomla! CMS Media settings.

 

Issues to consider

Solution

Host videos with an external streaming service provider

Example: YouTube.

When you choose to host video content with a provider like YouTube then you can avoid all of the above issues.

Instead of hosting a media file as part of your website you can embed any number of videos hosted with a streaming service provider within your website's pages.

This can be achieved using a Third Party Extension.
