Create custom video hosting pages

Maximize your video’s impact with on-brand, ad-free video landing pages.

Give your video the landing page it deserves

When you use YouTube, you sacrifice control. Your links boost their SEO, and viewers get distracted by competitor ads or sucked into recommended video rabbit holes. Animoto’s video landing pages give you all that control back, offering a powerful, distraction-free space to maximize your brand and drive immediate action.

Create an on-brand viewing experience

Apply your brand colors and logo, and choose the perfect thumbnail to maximize clicks. This makes sure that your content always shines, uninterrupted by competing brands.

Send viewers to your website

Keep the momentum going and guide viewers to the next step you want them to take, not another brand’s video. By adding a custom video title, description, and CTA button just below your video, you can maximize conversions with every view.

No ads, no distractions

Let your video do the talking. With Animoto, the screen is clean: No competitor ads, extra links, distracting videos trying to steal attention, or messy comment sections. It's pure, focused content delivery.

How to make a custom video hosting page

Add your brand

Easily reinforce your brand by selecting a neutral color for the background, and a contrasting color for your text. Upload your logo and choose where you’d like it to appear on the page.

Choose a thumbnail

Upload a custom video thumbnail with high-contrast text, a compelling close-up image, and a consistent branded element to maximize click-through rates.

Add text and a CTA button

Write a concise title and description to add some context. Then, drive conversions by creating a button with a clear call to action and bold colors.

Tips for video landing pages

Add a strong, single call-to-action (CTA)

Your page should have one clear goal like donate, sign up, or download. Include a prominent, high-contrast CTA button directly below the video.

Write a great hook

The first 5-10 seconds of the video are critical. Start with a compelling question, an emotional statement, or the main benefit to stop viewers from clicking away.

Use concise, supportive copy

The video is the star, but a short, powerful headline and 2-3 bullet points of text can help support. The copy reinforces the video's message and offers a scannable summary.
