Hi Viddlers, |

| ⚫ | |||
In 2006, Viddler’s founding business model was based on the creation of a community site for video enthusiasts and personal sharing. At the time, our business revenue model was driven through advertising. As a Viddler community user, you were a part of this model. As time has passed Viddler is no longer able to support this offering and business model. |
|||
{{authority control}} |
|||
Therefore we’ve made the decision to close our free site and community effective March 11th, 2014. |
|||
Team Viddler now dedicates 100% of our collective effort on the delivery of secure, interactive video solutions. We back our offering with a passionate, personal professional services and client support team and every day we strive to be the best in the industry. |

History
[edit]
The company is headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and was founded in November 2005 by Robert Sandie, Greg Gurevich, Joshua Mann, and Donna DeMarco.
Viddler no longer provides a free service for non-commercial users.[1] In 2010, Viddler began focusing less on video enthusiasts and self-generated content hosting and more on business verticals, including corporate communication and training, education, and publishing.[2] Following a 2011 decision to discontinue new personal accounts, Viddler announced in 2014 that it would close those legacy accounts, giving users the option of opening a paid account or downloading their existing videos.[3][4]
