SimpleVideo The European alternative to Vimeo

SimpleVideo is a video hosting service from an Austrian provider based in Vienna, aimed at small businesses and agencies. Users upload videos, customize the player and embed the videos on their own website via an embed code, without ads or third-party trackers. Videos can also be shared privately by link, keeping viewers on the owner’s site. Automatic transcripts and subtitles are part of the feature set.

According to the provider, the core application and metadata run on Hetzner in Germany, while video storage, transcoding and delivery use Bunny. These providers are located in Europe, though public playback is delivered through a content delivery network whose edge nodes can also be outside the EU depending on the viewer’s location. The provider is an Austrian controller and works cookieless. Core data therefore stays in the EU, while pure delivery follows the viewers’ location.

SimpleVideo embeds videos without ads, cookie banners or third-party tracking and keeps viewers on the operator’s website instead of redirecting them to a platform. The player is customizable, and private links enable closed sharing. The provider is based in Austria and uses European infrastructure for its core services. SimpleVideo therefore targets companies that want to embed videos into their own site in a privacy-friendly way.
