Size Matters
Hi. It’s Monte from the Preserver App. And today, I want to just talk about video length because you can adjust those when you capture them with the Preserver App. But I want your videos to be used and useful, and so let’s just do a quick look at some analysis here on user behaviour within the last year. So here we see the average retention rate is 66% of viewers will finish a video that’s under a minute long. 56% of viewers will finish a video that’s 1 to 2 minutes long.

All three of these apps, or all three of these software packages will actually bring down the latest protection from the web and hope and protect your…

Data Security
Monte: Hi. This is Monte from the Preserver app, and today, I want to talk about ensuring your data security. Jeff: Thanks, Monte. Monte, what is data security? Monte: Well, there’s 3 key elements of data security. There’s data at rest, which is in storage, data in transit, which is moving back and forth across the internet. And data in use, which is, you know, on your computer or on your phone. And all three of those, can be protected. Jeff: Okay, and how? Monte: Well, at rest, it’s password protection or 2 factor authentication. In transit. it’s a Virtual Private Network, which I’ll talk about in another video. And…
