This site is available to all users in English. EBU Members can log in to access our website in 20 additional languages as well. This innovation is powered by the EBU’s internal AI engine, EuroVox.

The EBU now uses Microsoft Entra as an authentication model.
Employees of most EBU Members should now use a federated login to authenticate. This means your organization acts as the identity provider. You no longer need 2 separate accounts or 2 separate passwords. Your work credentials give you access to EBU content.
What to do on the next screen?
If you already have an EBU account, enter your professional email address and select Next. You will see the EBU logo change to your organization’s logo. Enter your usual work password and, if prompted, accept the sharing of information with the EBU.
What if we are using shared mailboxes?
The new authentication mechanism does not work with shared mailboxes. If you usually access EBU websites using a shared account, you must create a new individual user account. Scroll down to view the instructions.
If federated login does not work?
For some EBU Members, as well as the general public, federated login will not work. Login remains possible with your existing account. 3 different cases may occur:
Case 1: If your email address is linked to a Microsoft account, you will be redirected to https://login.live.com. Log in using your usual Microsoft credentials.
Case 2: If your email address is linked to a Google account, you will be redirected to https://accounts.google.com. Log in using your usual Google credentials.
Case 3: If your email address is not linked to either service, you will receive a temporary password by email each time you log in.
What to do if none of the above seem to work?
Please read the instructions below carefully, as the choice you make during your first login cannot be changed later.
To create a new account, select No account? Create one.
You will have 3 options:
Microsoft: Recommended for users working for EBU Member organizations.
Google: Create an account using your existing Google account.
Other valid email address: A temporary password will be sent to your inbox each time you log in.
If you still cannot log in after following these instructions, contact [email protected].
How Vimeo serves a three digit million audience every month
Vittorio Giovara (Vimeo) speaking at FOSDEM, earlier this year.
Video-sharing website Vimeo has good reason to celebrate its successes. The site is known for its high quality content, attracts over 100 million unique visitors a month and it is barely a decade old. But what not too many people know is how Vimeo operates internally. How does the service maintain its high quality? How does it deal with the many (large) uploads and the many different end-user devices? What software is used and what is developed?
Video compression pipeline
At EBU DevCon 2015, Vimeo's Vittorio Giovara will give a presentation called "Deploying Open Source software at Vimeo". It will cover Vimeo's video compression pipeline, how deployment in the cloud is handled, and what Vimeo's approach is regarding open source development.
