What is 3Q?
3Q is the European digital infrastructure for enterprise video: live streaming, video-on-demand, webcasting, and the infrastructure behind OTT and FAST channels, run independently of US hyperscalers.
For organisations where data sovereignty is a compliance requirement rather than a preference, 3Q answers the audit question first. The video platform runs on 3Q's own independent European video infrastructure, GDPR-compliant and processes are ISO/IEC 27001 certified.
Corporate Communications: You broadcast town halls, Shareholders' Meetings, and press conferences as webcasts to a few or tens of thousands of viewers, with no limit on data volume. Every broadcast records automatically with Live2VOD and stays available on demand.
Marketing and Knowledge: You publish video-on-demand to customers and partners and build a secure internal library for training and onboarding. Video AI adds automatic subtitles, transcriptions, and translations, which opens international audiences without manual work.
Player and Reach: The cookie-free and consent-free HTML5 video player needs no consent banner, is accessible in accordance with WCAG 2.1/BITV 2.0, and carries your branding. The 3Q Content Delivery Network with multi-CDN delivers worldwide, including a China setup with ICP filing.
Measurement: 3Q Analytics provides several metrics such as data on reach, playback time, and engagement for each asset. This data can be filtered and exported so you can demonstrate your results.
3Q is the right choice when compliance has to be demonstrable rather than assumed, and when a team needs a turnkey video platform instead of building and staffing one. Costs stay predictable: modular pay-as-you-go with no base fee and no forced bundles.
Headquartered in Munich, 3Q offers single sign-on, a REST video API that fits your existing workflows, and 24/7 support from real video experts.
