Premium video storage
Upgrade to Mux-powered video streaming for adaptive quality and better playback across all devices and connections.
Arketa includes unlimited video storage on all plans. Premium Video Storage is an optional upgrade that adds professional-grade video processing and adaptive streaming through Mux.
What's included with standard storage
Every Arketa plan includes unlimited video uploads at no extra cost. Videos are stored and served as-is without transcoding, which works well for most use cases — especially if you're uploading Zoom recordings or well-prepared video files.
The tradeoff: if a client is on a slow connection, older device, or watching from a region with limited bandwidth, they may experience buffering or playback issues.
What Premium Video Storage adds
Premium Video Storage runs your videos through Mux, a professional video infrastructure platform. Mux:
- Transcodes your videos into multiple quality levels
- Adapts playback quality in real time based on the viewer's connection speed
- Improves compatibility across browsers, devices, and regions
- Reduces buffering for clients on slower or inconsistent connections
The result is the kind of smooth, adaptive playback experience you'd expect from Netflix or YouTube — your videos automatically serve the best quality the viewer's connection can handle.

When to consider the upgrade
Premium storage is worth it if:
- You have a large international client base
- Many of your clients access videos on mobile or in areas with slower internet
- You're seeing frequent playback complaints or buffering reports
- Your video library is a core part of your business model
If your clients are mostly local, tech-savvy, and on good connections, standard storage usually works fine.
How to add it
Premium Video Storage is a paid add-on. Contact support through the chat in your dashboard to enable it, or email support@arketa.com.
Before upgrading, try compressing your existing videos with Handbrake — it's free and can significantly improve playback quality without the premium storage cost. See file types and limits for details.
