The European alternative to Wistia
Business video hosting, without the American cloud.
StreamZilla is a European video platform for businesses that want their video on their own website, in their own brand, under European law. Wistia is a capable American marketing video platform; StreamZilla is built for organisations that also need sovereignty, privacy and accessibility to be settled.
With StreamZilla, your videos and viewer data stay in the EU, the player sets no cookies, and subtitles, transcripts and translations are created automatically by AI that runs in Europe.
Free during the beta. For organisations. Nothing to pay.
European by design
European ownership, law and infrastructure. No transfers to third countries, no CLOUD Act exposure.
No cookies, no banner
The player sets no cookies and loads no external services, so your video plays without a consent banner in front of it.
Simple and multilingual
Upload, manage, publish. Subtitles, a transcript and translations are created automatically, for every video.
