About StreamZilla

The all-in-one video platform from the team that put the first live stream on the web.

StreamZilla is a European video platform by Jet-Stream Services B.V. in Groningen, the Netherlands. It started in 2003, became market leader in the Benelux within a few years, grew 1,800 percent in five years and scaled across Europe, before it was brought under Jet-Stream.

Now StreamZilla is back, rebuilt from the ground up for a world in which the question of 1994 is on the table again: who decides whether you may share what you know?

32 years of streaming in one platform

All the knowledge and experience of 32 years of streaming went into one goal: building the best and easiest video platform, together with our customers. Underneath runs hardcore streaming technology on our own infrastructure, with capacity for millions of videos and millions of viewers. On top sits an interface that anyone can use without training.

All-in-one: hosting, encoding, player, subtitles, translations, portal, statistics and management in one platform.
Own infrastructure: no American cloud underneath, so we control quality, security and costs.
Worldwide reach: delivery through a European CDN with a global network, so your videos play fast for viewers everywhere, also outside the EU.
Competitive rates: plans from €19 a month, with no surprises at renewal.
Fully compliant: European law, GDPR, accessibility and sustainability, built in from the start.

Jet-Stream, since 1994

On 4 November 1994 our founder put the first live video stream on the world wide web. Jet-Stream has been building streaming technology ever since: encoders, packagers, origins and delivery for broadcasters, governments and businesses across Europe. StreamZilla is built on that experience. Meet the team.

Jet-Stream Services B.V. is part of the Jet-Stream group, whose parent company is Stream Holding B.V. All group companies are Dutch, established and managed in the Netherlands, with no shareholders outside the European Union.
