Video on Static Sites: When to Use a Platform
from My Weird Prompts
Hosting video on a static site isn't as simple as dropping in an MP4. In this episode, we break down the real technical trigger points—adaptive bitrate streaming, bandwidth costs, and user experience—that determine when you need a dedicated video platform. We compare three major players—Mux, Cloudflare Stream, and Bunny Stream—across pricing, features, and the specific use cases where each one shines. Whether you're building a landing page with a hero loop or a site with hours of lecture content, this episode gives you the framework to choose the right approach without over-engineering or overspending.
