[Promo] We rebuilt our WordPress video plugin from scratch - looking for feedback
Hey r/WordPress,
We've just released Version 2 of our FastPix WordPress plugin and wanted to share it with the community.
The plugin started from a problem we kept seeing with video-heavy WordPress sites. Whether it's online courses, membership platforms, media publishers, or marketing sites, managing video often means stitching together multiple tools for uploads, playback, analytics, storage, and streaming.
We wanted to make that workflow simpler.
What the plugin does
FastPix connects WordPress directly with our video infrastructure, allowing you to:
- Upload and manage videos from WordPress
- Embed videos using the FastPix Player
- Organize and manage a centralized video library
- Stream video without self-hosting large media files
- Access video analytics and engagement data
- Handle video delivery through a dedicated video platform instead of your web server
What's new in Version 2
We've rebuilt several parts of the plugin based on feedback from early users:
- Cleaner and more intuitive interface
- Improved upload and publishing workflows
- Better video management experience
- Faster setup and configuration
- More reliable synchronization between WordPress and FastPix
- Various bug fixes and performance improvements
Who we built it for
We're particularly interested in hearing from people running:
- Course platforms
- Membership communities
- News and media websites
- Documentation sites with embedded video
- Video-heavy marketing websites
- Agency-built WordPress projects
We'd love your thoughts
If you regularly work with video in WordPress:
- What does your current video workflow look like?
- What are the biggest pain points you run into?
- Are there features you wish existing video plugins handled better?
- Is there anything you'd want to see added to a plugin like this?
Here is our plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/fastpix-io/

Happy to answer any questions and discuss how others are handling video workflows in WordPress.
