About

3Q is the European digital infrastructure for video streaming, OTT, and FAST channels. The partner-friendly SaaS solution is API-first and runs on 3Q's own independent European video infrastructure, independently of hyperscalers. The 3Q online video platform, made in Germany, lets customers and partners host, manage, and distribute audiovisual content live and on-demand on websites and apps. 3Q's white-label solution for video portals gives audiences fully managed content, with a central media library that provides analytics on each asset's streaming performance. 3Q is GDPR-compliant and all processes are ISO/IEC 27001 certified. It scales globally with multi-CDN and a China setup with ICP filing, valued expertise for many European companies. 3Q is the right choice when European data sovereignty is a non-negotiable requirement and not just "hosted in the EU," but structurally guaranteed. When companies are looking for a specialized, turnkey video platform without having to build their own DevOps team. Video Hosting and Management: You upload videos via browser or video API and organize everything in a central interface. Automated workflows handle transcoding, metadata, and publishing to websites, apps, and the intranet. Live Streaming and Webcasting: You stream live to a large audience with no limits on viewer numbers or data volume, broadcast redundantly with all common encoders, and convert every live stream to video-on-demand automatically with Live2VOD. The Live Clipping module creates new clips directly from a live or completed stream. Delivery and Video Player: The 3Q Content Delivery Network delivers content quickly and in high quality worldwide. The cookie-free and consent-free HTML5 video player works on all devices, supports all video formats, is customizable with logos, overlays, and interactive elements, and offers comprehensive advertising support. It is accessible in accordance with WCAG 2.1/BITV 2.0. Video AI and Analytics: The integrated video AI generates transcripts, metadata, thumbnails, captions, translations, and chapter markers. 3Q Analytics shows how your video and livestream content is used, filterable by project and time period, and exportable. API-First: SDKs give developers access to nearly all features of the 3Q platform: upload, encoding, player integration, streaming, analytics, and more at no additional cost. Headquartered in Munich, 3Q offers a modular pay-as-you-go pricing model & 24/7 support.
