If you want to host your own video and add it to WordPress then you can check Bunny.net Stream Service. This is relatively a new service that allows you to host your videos on their CDN network. Bunny.net will handle transcoding, storage, security & a video player for you.

Basically, it handles everything for you at lower costs. This service is perfect for someone that is selling courses on their website or has a membership website and wants to control access to the video.
