Pay-as-you-go video hosting and delivery
bunny.net is a content delivery network with a video product on top, and it charges by the gigabyte with a one dollar monthly minimum. A creator embedding video on their own site pays for what people actually watch instead of buying a plan sized for a good month. It expects you to be comfortable with a dashboard built for developers, and it does not try to be a membership platform.
Our note
This is the cheapest way to put video on your own site by a wide margin, and the cost of that is doing the integration yourself. Set the bandwidth limit on day one; usage billing without a ceiling is the one way this gets expensive.

Screen recordings that go out as a link
Loom records your screen and your face together and hands you a link the moment you stop, so the thing you would have written three paragraphs about arrives as a two minute video instead. Viewers can reply on a timestamp rather than describing where they got confused. Editing is trimming and little else, so a cut that needs more than that belongs somewhere else.
Our note
Loom is for the video nobody would otherwise have made. Buy it for correspondence rather than publishing, and check the free plan's length limit against the way you actually explain things before paying for anything.
