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:
Click Media in your sidebar
Click Upload and select your video
Your video appears in the library with a play icon
Click play to preview it
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.
