General

Video.Taxi - the video solution for companies and public authorities
Video.Taxi is a streaming platform for business customers and public authorities who value data protection and want to respect the privacy of their website visitors. From live streaming to video hosting, Video.Taxi offers a range of valuable tools to help businesses and public sector organizations unlock the full potential of video. The AI-based speech recognition technology enables real-time subtitling and translation of audio, video and livestreams.

ISO/IEC–27001 certified
Video.Taxi is ISO/IEC–27001 certified.

No tracking or data theft
Unlike US providers such as YouTube, Vimeo, Zoom, and others, no user data is intercepted and stored illegally in the USA without consent and monetized there. (ECJ judgment - Schrems II).
