Viddler launched its online video platform in December 2006. On March 3, 2025, Viddler shut down operations.^[3]

For over the 18 years, Viddler streamed billions of views^[4] on millions of videos for 2000+ clients in over 150 countries on 6 of the seven continents. Over 100 people have been a part of Viddler as employees, interns, contractors, and partners.^[3]

The company was headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and was founded in November 2005 by Robert Sandie, Greg Gurevich, Joshua Mann, and Donna DeMarco.

Viddler suspended its free service for non-commercial users.^[5] Following a 2011 decision to discontinue new personal accounts, Viddler announced in 2014 that it would close those legacy accounts, giving users the option of opening a paid account or downloading their existing videos.^[6][7]

In 2010,Viddler began focusing less on video enthusiasts and self-generated content hosting and more on business verticals, including corporate communication and training, education, and publishing.^[8]

Viddler's online sales training platform included integrated tools for practice and evaluation. Its services offered video-based instructions and optional coaching and allow the consumer to engage with course content through guided assignments and self-recorded practice sessions.
