What is 3Q Video?

3Q Video is a European enterprise video platform operated by 3Q GmbH in Munich. It is built for organisations that need to control where their video data is stored and processed: media companies and broadcasters, corporate communications teams, education and public-sector bodies, and event and OTT providers in compliance-driven markets.


European data sovereignty


Unlike vendors that rent capacity from US hyperscalers, 3Q owns its full video stack. All content runs on 3Q's own independent European video infrastructure, so it stays in the EU. The platform is GDPR-compliant and 3Q is ISO/IEC 27001 certified.


Core capabilities


  • Video hosting and management through a central media library
  • Live streaming and webinars for large audiences, with automatic Live2VOD recording
  • Video on demand and a white-label media portal
  • Built-in video AI for automatic subtitles, transcriptions, chapters, and metadata

Delivery and Player


Content is distributed worldwide over a proprietary video CDN, with multi-CDN, eCDN, and China delivery. Playback runs on any device through a Cookie- and Consent-free HTML5 Video Player that meets WCAG 2.1 and BITV 2.0 accessibility standards and supports HLS and DASH adaptive streaming.


Integration and measurement


An API-first design exposes a REST video API and native player SDKs for embedding video into existing sites, apps, and OTT backends. Video analytics report player impressions, watch time, viewer counts, devices, and locations for each asset.


Commercial model


3Q uses modular pay-as-you-go pricing with no base fee and a 7-day free trial. Support is handled by 3Q's own engineers with 24/7 availability, and enterprise plans add SSO/SAML, premium network and eCDN, SLA-backed support, and professional services.
