Video Uploads Are Here - Keep Everything in One Place

Managing a blog shouldn't require juggling five different platforms.

When we launched Xylo in January, you could write posts, upload images, and customize your site - all from one dashboard. But for videos, everyone had to use YouTube, Vimeo, or another service.

That meant:

  • Remembering another password

  • Managing content in multiple places

  • Paying extra for video hosting ($12-50/month for Vimeo)

  • Dealing with YouTube ads on your professional blog

Now you can upload videos directly to Xylo.

What's Included

Your Xylo plan now includes:

  • Video uploads - MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI files

  • 100MB per video - plenty for most blog content

  • 5GB total storage - room for dozens of videos

  • Built-in player - clean, simple video playback

  • Same dashboard - manage videos alongside your posts and images

How It Works

It's exactly like uploading images:

  1. Click Media in your sidebar

  2. Click Upload and select your video

  3. Your video appears in the library with a play icon

  4. Click play to preview it

  5. Copy the URL to share

What You Can Do With It

Right now, videos are perfect for:

  • About page content - introduce yourself with video

  • Tutorials - host how-to videos for your readers

  • Portfolio work - showcase video projects

  • Behind-the-scenes - share clips without YouTube ads

Coming Soon

We're actively working on:

  • Embedding videos directly in posts (like you do with images)

  • Video backgrounds for hero sections

  • Custom thumbnail images

  • Automatic video compression

But even today, you have a simple place to upload, store, and share video content - no extra subscriptions needed.

Why We Built This

Xylo is designed to be everything you need in one place. Posts, pages, images, and now videos - all managed from the same dashboard you already know.

No juggling platforms. No extra monthly fees. Just your blog, your content, one login.

Video uploads are live for all Xylo sites now. Check your Media library to try it.
