Managed video hosting vs embed

If you’re interested in adding a video to your countdown page, there are two ways to go about it. Method one involves embedding the video through YouTube or Vimeo. The second option is uploading the video directly, This ensures that the video won’t display any ‘YouTube’ or ‘Vimeo’ branding, resulting in a more polished and professional appearance.
