How to host and publish a video in 3 steps?

  1. 1. Upload your files

    Drag and drop your videos (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV and more) into your Videas workspace. Resumable uploads handle even large files reliably — if your connection drops, the transfer picks up where it left off.

  2. 2. Automatic encoding

    Videas automatically transcodes your video into multi-quality adaptive HLS with H.264 and VP9 codecs. No manual setup needed — the platform generates all quality levels for smooth HD playback on any device and connection speed.

  3. 3. Share & measure

    Distribute via public or private links, embed the branded player on your website or CMS, and track real viewer engagement with Videas Analytics — views, retention curves, session heatmaps and device breakdown, all without advertising cookies.

Video Hosting workflow: upload, encode, share and analyze

A complete ecosystem built for your videos.

Unlike YouTube or Vimeo, Videas gives you full control over your content — no ads, no competing recommendations, no data sold to advertisers. Every upload is encoded into adaptive HLS (H.264 + VP9) and delivered via a global CDN. The Videas Player is fully brandable and sets no advertising cookies. Track engagement with Videas Analytics — all European-hosted, GDPR compliant.

Multi-quality HLS encoding

Every upload is automatically transcoded into adaptive HLS with H.264 and VP9 codecs — VP9 delivers the same quality at 30% lower bitrate. The Videas Player selects the optimal bitrate in real time for smooth playback on any device. Fully automatic: you upload, Videas handles the rest.

Controlled sharing & GDPR compliance

Share publicly or via private links with password and expiration. Restrict embedding to your authorized domains (allowlist). The Videas Player sets no advertising cookie — no consent banner update needed. All data is European-hosted, GDPR compliant, with encryption and a dedicated DPO.

What our customers say about us


Frequently asked questions

Yes. Your videos are distributed via a CDN with edge caching to reduce latency, speed up start times and handle audience peaks automatically. Viewers load segments from the nearest node for the best possible experience.

Adaptive HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) adjusts video quality to each viewer's connection in real time: less buffering, faster start and a smooth experience on all networks and devices — from 4G mobile to fiber desktop.

No. By default, the Videas player adds no advertising cookies or third-party trackers. Only technical elements strictly necessary for playback may be used. You typically don't need to modify your consent banner.

Views, watch time, retention, session heatmaps, top content, device breakdown and referral sources. In connected environments (Channels), per-user statistics are also available.

Because you stay in control: no third-party ads, branding in your colors, chapters and end CTAs that link to YOU (not to "recommended" videos). You can restrict embedding by domain (privacy/GDPR), avoid YouTube marketing cookies, publish on your site without distractions, and get actionable analytics (retention, engagement — including per user with Channels). In short: a professional, controlled experience that converts better.
