Full control over content and data

Upload videos and files securely and manage them efficiently. You can easily add files via drag’n’drop or select them via the file browser. VIMP automatically generates suitable thumbnails for your videos, but you can also upload your own image.

Various security settings and structuring options are also available to you. With the help of comprehensive role and rights management and media authorisations, we give you precise control over the access and use of your content.

Maximum protection for your video hosting content

With VIMP, you enjoy the highest possible protection for your content. The platform is 100% GDPR-compliant and therefore guarantees the highest data protection standards.

URL signing also offers additional protection by ensuring that videos can only be embedded on desired websites.

Replacing an existing video in VIMP

New video, same URL

You can replace existing media with new files in your VIMP video hosting platform. The URL remains unchanged, which means that existing links and embeds on external websites remain valid and accessible. This guarantees a seamless user experience and saves you valuable time and potential risks.

Multiple options for sharing and embedding

Manage your videos and media not only in VIMP, but also share and embed them on other channels. You can easily embed videos via iFrame and JavaScript, giving you maximum flexibility when integrating them into your website or application. In addition, you can make your videos available via email, QR code and download link so that your content can be easily and conveniently accessed by your chosen audience.

Linking and player embedding are among the most frequently used functions, which are also used by other organisations within the federal administration in addition to the Armed Forces.

The uncomplicated interface, which has been translated into several national languages, allows users to manage content themselves and present it centrally via a channel for their organisation.
