Annoto wraps the video services you already use, or hosts your video itself. Your courses, your people and your integrations work only with Annoto, so the hosting provider underneath can change without your teaching changing with it.
Many IT teams already run across more than one cloud so that no single provider holds the keys. Annoto applies the same idea to video and introduces the first Multi Video Platform: one management, interaction and analytics layer that sits above Kaltura, Panopto, Brightcove, Wistia, Vimeo, YouTube or Annoto's own hosting. Instructors, learners, your LMS and your reporting connect to Annoto. The video host becomes a replaceable part of the stack rather than the center of it.
Keep your current video services and let Annoto wrap them, use Annoto video hosting and delivery, or run both side by side across departments. Different faculties on different platforms is a normal starting point, not a problem to solve first. Either way, the experience for instructors and learners is the same, and it is managed in one place.
Leaving a video vendor usually means a one to two year project: exporting the library, rebuilding embeds course by course, retraining staff and losing the interaction history along the way. With Annoto, the move from one vendor to another is done for you. The library is transferred underneath while course links, embeds and LMS integrations keep pointing at Annoto. If your contract ends tomorrow, the switch can still be made in time.
Quizzes, timestamped discussions, peer review, notes, completion records and analytics live in Annoto, not in the hosting provider. When a video moves, everything built on top of it moves with it. Gradebook history and engagement trends continue on the same timeline instead of starting again from zero.
Your LMS connects once to Annoto through LTI 1.3, and your own sites through the Annoto SDK and API. Adding or replacing a host does not mean reinstalling tools in Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace or Open edX, or rewriting embeds. Technical details for each host are in the documentation at docs.annoto.net.
Many institutions pay for a video host and then add separate tools for video quizzes, video discussion and skills assessment. Annoto covers both layers. A hosting change can also be the moment to consolidate those tools, so there is one contract, one integration and one dataset instead of several.
When switching hosts is a routine change, renewal conversations are about price and service rather than about how hard it would be to leave. Some institutions also split hosting by need, for example lecture capture on one service and public content on another, while learners see one consistent experience.
Pick a course that uses your current host, connect it to Annoto, and move a few of its videos to a second host or to Annoto hosting. Check that the quizzes, discussions and analytics are still in place and that learners notice no difference. That is the whole idea, and it can be checked in an afternoon.
Annoto wraps the video platforms used across education and training, and can host video itself. Use one, several, or move between them.
