Host your videos in France, with no ads and no recommendations.

Yes. Your videos are delivered through a CDN with edge caching, which cuts latency, speeds up start times and absorbs audience spikes automatically. Viewers load each segment from the node nearest to them, so playback starts fast wherever they are watching from — no configuration needed on your side.

Adaptive HLS adjusts video quality in real time to each viewer's connection: less buffering, a faster start and smooth playback across every network and device, from a phone on mobile data to a desktop on fibre. A direct download forces one fixed quality on everyone, whatever their bandwidth.

No. The Videas player sets no advertising cookie and no third-party tracker: only the technical items strictly required for playback are used. You therefore generally have no consent banner to change, and no need to add the video to your processing records. That is the main difference with an embedded YouTube or Vimeo player.

Yes. You share through a password-protected link, with an expiry date if you want one, or to specific email addresses. You can also restrict embedding to the domains you allow. For finer control — user accounts, SSO, group-level rights — Videas Channels takes over from there.

Views, watch time, retention curves, session heatmaps, a ranking of your best-performing content, device breakdown and traffic sources. The heatmaps show which segments hold attention and where viewers drop off. In a signed-in environment with Channels, per-user statistics are available too.

Because you keep control. No third-party advertising, no recommended videos taking your viewer somewhere else, a player in your own colours and end-screen CTAs that point back to you. You restrict embedding by domain, you avoid marketing cookies, and your analytics are usable. In exchange, YouTube brings an audience that we do not replace.

All your videos are hosted in France, on Videas infrastructure, with no data transfer outside the European Union. GDPR compliance is native rather than bolted on, and a data protection officer oversees the setup. The player sets no advertising cookie, which saves you from declaring the video in your processing records.

Videas accepts every common format: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM and others. Uploads are resumable — if your connection drops, the transfer picks up where it stopped instead of starting over. Multi-quality HLS transcoding, with the H.264 and VP9 codecs, then runs automatically with no settings to choose.

Yes. Copy the embed code — iframe or script — into any page or CMS: WordPress, Drupal, Webflow or a custom build. The player is responsive and adapts to the size of its container. You can restrict embedding to the domains you allow, so the video cannot be republished elsewhere.

Yes, with no commitment. Create an account and you receive €5 in credits to upload, encode and share your first videos, then €5 every month. The first terabyte of delivery each month is free. There is no subscription to take out at the start, and none to cancel later: you top up when you decide to.

There is a free allowance, not an unlimited free plan. You get €5 in credits when you sign up, then €5 more every month, and the first terabyte of streaming each month is free. That covers real usage for a small library. Beyond it you pay for what you use — storage, encoding and bandwidth — with no subscription.

Hosting is where the file lives; streaming is how it reaches the viewer. Videas does both: your file is stored, transcoded into adaptive HLS, then delivered from the CDN node nearest the viewer. You never have to arrange delivery separately.

There is no fixed size limit, and uploads are resumable: if the connection drops, the transfer resumes from where it stopped rather than starting again. That matters for the multi-gigabyte masters professional video actually produces, which rarely survive a single uninterrupted upload.

Share it through a private link, with a password and an expiry date if you need them, and limit embedding to the domains you allow. A privately shared video is not listed anywhere, not recommended to anyone and not indexed by search engines — it exists only for the people you send it to.

We migrate your videos for you, at no cost, from Vimeo, YouTube, Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive. You keep your files and your metadata; we handle the transfer and the re-encoding. BTLV moved 4,000 hours of replays from Vimeo this way, with no interruption for its subscribers.
