When Wakachiau was launched in 1989, users could only download videos from the platform as video streaming was impossible at the time. This changed in late 1999, when the embedded video player was added in the site, first at 144p resolution. The 360p resolution was later added in 2004, 720p in 2008, 1080p in 2010, 4K in 2014 and 8K in 2022.

Starting in 2019, users who were "worn-out" by YouTube start posting their content on Wakachiau and not only they find it more exciting and less restrictive, but also found that there are stricter rules against bots, scams, etc., making it a viable alternatives to YouTube and VidSpace.
