European alternatives to Vimeo
Video hosting for business sites, from Europe
Browse the category: Video hosting services · Video platforms
Vimeo is a video hosting platform aimed at putting video on your own website rather than building an audience inside a social feed. Companies use it for product videos, training material and event recordings, with a player they control and no advertising in front of the content. It is sold on subscription rather than funded by ads.
An embedded player runs on your pages and can set identifiers before a visitor has agreed to anything, which drags video straight into your cookie banner and your privacy notice. Hosting with a European supplier makes that section considerably shorter. A European alternative to Vimeo covers hosting and delivery. mave and Bunny Stream provide players and streaming, while alugha adds multilingual audio and subtitle handling.

mave
Privacy friendly video hosting from the Netherlands
mave is a video hosting service from the Netherlands, built around privacy and simple integration. A video goes on your site with a single line of code, and there is a web component plus ready made integrations for React and Vue. The player itself is configured and styled in a visual builder, and streams from tools such as OBS can be pushed in over RTMP.

Questions
Will an embedded European player still need a cookie banner?
That depends on what the player stores on the visitor's device, which differs per provider. Ask mave or Bunny Stream what their embed sets before a visitor interacts with it.
How do I move my existing videos?
Video files can be downloaded from your current account and uploaded again, though embed codes and links on your site all have to be updated. Plan a page by page pass rather than a single switch.
Which option fits videos in several languages?
alugha is built around multilingual audio tracks and subtitles, which is useful if you publish across European markets. Jet-Stream is another option if delivery is your main concern.
