How it works

How Mave works:
from upload to delivery, without tracking.

Mave makes it simple to host, process, and deliver video from Europe - without tracking or unnecessary complexity.

This page shows how Mave works in practice, from upload to playback, so you can see what to expect before getting started.

01 — Prepare

Upload your video

Getting started with Mave begins with uploading your video.

Videos are uploaded through the Mave dashboard or via API. Once uploaded, videos are processed and stored entirely within the EU.

  • No third-party processors
  • No external storage providers
  • No data leaving European jurisdiction

From the first step, privacy and sovereignty are built in - not added later.

02 — Prepare

Process and prepare

During upload, Mave prepares your video for delivery.

This includes:

  • High-quality encoding
  • Automatic subtitle generation
  • Adaptive streaming for different devices and connections

Processing happens automatically while your video uploads.

Once processing is complete, your video is ready to publish.

03 — Manage

Manage and organize

Videos are managed from one clear dashboard.

You can:

  • Organize videos into collections
  • Customize player appearance and behavior
  • Control subtitles, playback, and layout
  • Update videos without changing your site

Mave keeps video management simple - even as your library grows.

04 — Publish

Publish and embed

Publishing video with Mave is lightweight by design.

You can:

  • Embed video using a simple iframe
  • Use a raw embed for maximum control
  • Integrate via API for deeper use cases

No heavy SDKs.
No forced frameworks.
No hidden dependencies.

Mave fits into your existing stack - not the other way around.

05 — Deliver

Deliver fast, across devices

Once embedded, Mave delivers your video through a European CDN.

This means:

  • Fast, reliable video delivery
  • Adaptive playback across devices and connections
  • Performance that scales with your audience

Delivery is optimized automatically, so you don’t need to manage infrastructure or configure playback performance.

06 — Understand

Understand performance - without tracking people

Mave provides built-in analytics designed for privacy.

You can see:

  • How videos perform
  • Which content is watched
  • How engagement changes over time

Analytics are based on aggregated, privacy-safe data.

  • No cookies
  • No IP tracking
  • No consent banners required

You get insight into content - not individuals.

One platform

One platform. One set of principles.

Mave is designed to stay simple as it grows:

  • From one video to thousands
  • From one user to full teams
  • From a simple embed to platform-level integration

The same principles apply at every stage:
privacy by design, European sovereignty, and lightweight integration.

Privacy by design
Private by default, without viewer profiles.
European sovereignty
European infrastructure and data control.
Lightweight integration
From a simple embed to a deeper API integration.
