What is Dailymotion
A brief history behind Dailymotion’s journey from one of the first HD video platforms to becoming one of the biggest video streaming platforms in the world, with more than a hundred million visitors every month
Dailymotion Way
In March 2005, Benjamin Bejbaum and Olivier Poitrey founded Dailymotion — a video-sharing platform that quickly gained traction and interest from viewers, creators, and investors. Their vision was to create an online space where users could effortlessly share, explore, and engage with video content.
By February 2008, Dailymotion had positioned itself as a game-changer by supporting high-definition video resolution at 720p, making it one of the first HD video platforms ever.
Fast forward to 2015, and the dynamic video-sharing platform found a new home under the ownership of Vivendi, a prominent French media holding company.
Today, Dailymotion has evolved into a global video streaming service, connecting 350 million creators and consumers worldwide.
However, like many platforms with user-generated content, Dailymotion faces legal challenges. The upload of copyrighted content by users transformed the service into an unintended hub for piracy. WebScan scans Dailymotion in one click, simplifying content protection on one of the largest video-sharing resources.

Dailymotion copyright protection tools
Since 2015, the platform has perfected its tools to better protect the hosted content by investing in audio fingerprinting technologies. Audio fingerprints are great when it comes to audio recognition. Though with video content audio fingerprints miss a lot of copies. For example, redubbed copies will pass this filtering even if the video is copyrighted.
