European video hosting services
Embed video from European hosting providers
A video hosting service takes your uploads, encodes them into the formats and bitrates browsers need, stores them and serves them through a configurable player you embed on your site. Adaptive streaming adjusts quality to the viewer's connection. Compared with putting an MP4 on your own server, you get thumbnails, captions, analytics and delivery that holds up under load.
An embedded player is a third party script on your page, and each play sends viewer data to whoever hosts it. mave, alugha, Bunny Stream and Jet-Stream are European providers. If you need a European alternative for video hosting, check whether the player sets cookies before playback, because that is what decides whether it belongs behind your consent banner.

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.
