The company, headquartered in Bethlehem, PA, was founded in November 2005 by Robert Sandie, Greg Gurevich, 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][3] Following a 2011 decision to discontinue new personal accounts, Viddler recently announced it was going to close those legacy accounts, giving users the option of opening a paid account or downloading their existing videos.[4][5]

In 2013, Viddler was issued a patent "for displaying a video and an overlay or tag" as used by video asset administrators and viewers.[6][7]

In January 2017, Viddler initiated a soft launch of its sales training product with Michael St. Lawrence.[citation needed]

Features

Viddler provides solutions[buzzword] for sales training. The company uses its media player to display video and other media elements and to provide user interaction, including the ability to post timed comments directly in a video. Customers can use a webcam to record a video practice session related to course content.

Video practice sessions are evaluated by the customer, the customer's employer, or a sales industry expert. Customers have the option to browse and self-select training courses or to be matched with training courses.

Practice videos can be published on secure business or education websites using an admin-controlled embedding feature.

Supported input file formats include .3g2 .3gp .asf .avi .dv .flv .mov .mp4 .mpeg2 .mpeg4 .mpg .mpg2 .ogg .qt .wmv
