"We've been delighted with our trial of Stream: it's a simple, powerful service with zero bloat that's clearly been built with a lot of attention to detail. The API-driven video upload functionality fits our requirements perfectly, and it's very easy to embed videos and customize the player. The service also has clear, fair pricing, and we look forward to streaming much more of our content with its help in the near future."
