French video hosting on Videas-owned infrastructure
FranceEUEU hostedFree plan Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedHigh non-EU dependencyScope verdict
VIDEAS SAS is registered in Lille under number 834 356 677, with its seat in Frelinghien. Its legal notice names Vivien Charlet as president and its about page names Chahnez Azzaz and Vivien Charlet as founders. These disclosures do not establish current shareholders or voting rights, so ultimate European control remains unresolved.
Operational dependency warning
Current public evidence shows 4 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 3 providers: Anthropic, Google, Stripe. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.
Videas hosts, transcodes and delivers video for businesses, educators and creators. It offers automatic subtitles, private links, a customizable ad-free player, branded channels and pages for selling video. Videas says the embedded player sets no cookies.
VIDEAS SAS owns and operates its video servers in Etix colocation facilities in the EU and says uploaded videos are hosted in northern France. Optional AI translation and metadata generation send transcribed text to Anthropic in the US. The operator is French, but its current ultimate ownership has not been established.
Usage-based prepaid credits, with no subscription. The account receives €5 at sign-up and €5 each month without a payment card; monthly credits do not carry over. Video storage is listed at €0.20 per hour per month and the first 1 TB of delivery each month is free. There is no unlimited free tier.
