European video streaming services

Watch films and series on platforms that aren't harvesting your viewing data.

Switching from
YouTube Vimeo Twitch

Video streaming platforms let you watch and share clips and films. Most people only know the American ones. Europe has options too. Dailymotion is a French platform that has run for years. PeerTube is different: it is open-source, and anyone can start their own video site with it. These tools keep your viewing habits under European rules instead of feeding a US ad engine.
