Currently, most people are increasingly opting for video over text as a way of receiving information. According to statistics, 70 per cent of all consumer internet traffic in 2015 was video traffic and it is expected to hit 82 per cent by 2020.

Additionally, more than a billion unique users visit YouTube every month. This figure accounts for over a third of all internet users. Due to the high number of visitors, YouTube is the second most popular website on the web. In addition, YouTube reaches more 18-49 year olds than any cable network in the U.S. These statistics are more than enough to prove how appealing video communication has become.
