Second on the list of the top video marketing platforms is Facebook, which is used by 86% of brands. This is four percentage points lower than that of YouTube, and comes in spite of its higher number of users

LinkedIn and Instagram rank next, with 79% each. Webinar-hosting sites follow on the list of the top video marketing platforms, used by three in five marketers.

Top video marketing platforms: Twitter, TikTok, and others

Sixth on the ranking of the top video marketing platforms is Twitter. Just over half (54%) of businesses use the microblogging site for video marketing. Despite its relatively high position on this list, Twitter is considered to be a rather ineffective video marketing tool—just 24% (or one in four) of businesses find it to be effective.

TikTok follows on the list of the top video marketing platforms. In seventh place, it is used by just over one in three (35%) brands. To highlight just how popular the social network is, here’s a key TikTok statistic: TikTok users watch one million videos on the app every single day.

Here are the other top video marketing platforms and types on the list and their popularity among marketers:

  1. Interactive videos: 31%
  2. 360 videos: 17%
  3. 3D videos/artificial reality: 15%
  4. Snapchat: 13%
  5. Virtual reality: 13%
