What Screen9 does

Screen9 is a Stockholm-headquartered online video platform founded in 2000 that provides enterprise and public-sector customers with end-to-end video infrastructure for uploading, live streaming, hosting, publishing, and analyzing video content. The platform follows a core-plus-modules architecture: core products include Live Streaming, Enterprise Webinar, Video Hosting, Videosite (white-label portal), Video Accessibility, Video Security, and Video Analytics, with add-on modules spanning Video Editor, AI Creator, AI Transcription, Customizable Branding, Video Engagement, and the Quickchannel Meeting module tailored for municipal council and political meetings. Underlying technology is built around proprietary APIs (REST API, Amber Player API, IFrame Player API, Statistics API, Meeting API) with Swagger documentation, OAuth2/Basic Auth, and certified integrations into CMS (Optimizely, Sitevision), identity (Azure AD/SharePoint), communication (Vonage), and analytics (Google Analytics) ecosystems, running on OVH, AWS, and Bunny.net infrastructure with 99.99% historical uptime.

In September 2022 Screen9 merged with Quickchannel, with the Swedish legal fusion formally registered on July 26, 2024; the combined business now operates under the Quickchannel brand with Screen9 AB as the legal entity. The company serves 300+ customers across Europe — including Saab (defense), BDO (professional services), DNB and KLP (financial services), SkiStar (retail/hospitality), Storebrand (financial services), and multiple Nordic municipalities — selling primarily multi-year enterprise subscriptions with custom quote-based pricing, while also offering an API-first, self-serve developer channel. The full-stack GDPR-compliant and WCAG 2.1 AA-certified platform, paired with operations in Sweden, Poland, Finland, and the UK, is positioned as a European alternative to US-based online video platforms for regulated buyers.
