A HotClick is, what we call in the industry, a hotspot. Hotspots are, in general terms, a second layer inserted on top of your video file.

HotClick offers a state of the art video viewing and shopping experience giving the producer and viewer a more exciting and interactive way to view and interact with videos. Instead of "lean-back/passive" experience whilst watching online videos, we create a dynamic "lean-in/active" experience. Unlike other video sharing sites, HotClick makes videos actionable, enhancing messaging and user engagement. HotClick's interactive technology is by far the simplest and best way to approach your audience across the web.

Whether you are a first time web seller or small/medium business owner, or even a Fortune 100 company, HotClick is by far the most affordable video advertising service on the market. Starting at just $19.99 a month for our Bronze Account, you get access to the entire HotClick service. We understand that a lot of web publishers want to start small and simple and grow on their own pace, we have designed our service to support this. As you grow, we scale with you. And if you've already gone big and serve hundreds of thousands of users already, HotClick can handle that too!

HotClick is easy to use - We know that our customers are very busy and do not have the time for complicated systems. With HotClick, there is nothing to download to your computer as everything is done over the web. We don't require a bunch of APIs and third party applications to make our full service work. With us, it's simple and easy!

Yes, we upload and encode your video at the same bit-rate it was uploaded at. (+/-10%), up to a maximum of 2mbps. This "mirror strategy" maintains the quality of the video you've uploaded.

HotClick videos progressively download. The progressive download approach maintains a constant data rate throughout the video playback and ensures good quality playback at any connection speed. Progressive download is best used for short-form video(under 5 minutes), while streaming is best suited for long-form and live video.

Your original video file is still on your computer. When you upload files to HotClick, we create an .flv copy of the video, therefor your original video is no longer needed and kept on your desktop.

The Producer will upload their video to be transcoded and stored on the HCTV CDN. If the producers free account expires and would rather NOT pay into one of services they will have the option to download the video and host it elsewhere. HCTV will provide a field in the producers console to define the link to that video.

Your clickmark is like a save tab to the products you've clicked. When a product is first clicked, it is moved to your clickmark folder. From there you are capable of reviewing your product once more before clicking in it to add to your shopping cart.
