Adding video to your website immediately adds value, but also a new level of complexity to your web development. Can I use the tag? Do I need a JavaScript video player? What formats should the video be in for the best browser support? How do I account for different network speeds in different environments? How do I make sure that my videos will always play back with minimal buffering?
It sounds like a lot (and you might even consider throwing your hands up in the air asking, “Why don’t we just put it up on YouTube?”) This is a valid response — the more you dig into video and video delivery, more and more complexities arise that your developers will have to deal with.
