What MyVideo does

MyVideo is a Berlin-based, private German streaming platform that distributes free, ad-supported access to ProSieben network programming in both live linear and on-demand catch-up formats. The company was founded in 2006 and is positioned as a horizontal, consumer-facing service targeting German-speaking viewers who want either to watch the ProSieben live stream or to revisit flagship shows such as Germany's Next Topmodel, The Masked Singer, Joko & Klaas, Grey's Anatomy, Young Sheldon, Galileo, taff and The Simpsons after broadcast.

The underlying product is a web-first streaming platform accessible via joyn.de, with native applications on iOS, Android, Amazon FireTV and Huawei AppGallery, and an organic social presence on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube. Content is structured around ProSieben network IP, supplemented by accessibility features including subtitles for the deaf, audio description, sign language and easy-read versions, which extend reach into underserved viewer segments.

Commercially, MyVideo operates a freemium model anchored on a free tier that exposes the ProSieben live stream and a substantial on-demand catalog at no subscription cost, with premium upsell paths managed through Joyn's broader offering; the company does not publicly disclose pricing tiers or revenue mechanics in the data provided. Operational governance rests with CEO Manuel Uhlitzsch, and the entity sits within the broader Seven.One Entertainment Group GmbH (ProSiebenSat.1) corporate structure, which provides direct ownership over content rights, programming schedule and cross-promotion from the parent group's linear channels. Despite the "MyVideo" brand identity in the firmographic record, the substantial portion of operational and product evidence in the supplied sources pertains to the Joyn streaming platform, which is the dominant functional vehicle for the underlying service.
