About Us

bendecho was launched in February 2007 and soon became the leading portal for social videosharing in the German-speaking countries. Members can post links to their favorite videos and thus save videos from lots of different video portals, making them available to others.

This aggregation of video recommendations constitutes a premium-quality video directory, which is presented and works like a traditional video portal with integrated social networking. Anyone can participate and assess videos or comment on them, and even posting new videos is child's play.

We attribute major importance to the ease of finding specific contents. Accordingly, the video quickfinder offers a fast and easy method of arranging and finding videos. Thanks to the recommendations of the editorial staff, great entertainment is guaranteed, as particularly funny, bizarre and interesting videos are awarded a prize.

Not a typical video portal

In contrast to video portals like YouTube, Break.com or Sevenload, uploading videos is not an option with bendecho. Instead, bendecho relies on a fair cooperation with the video portals, which very much benefit from the vast audience watching their popular videos thanks to bendecho. In accordance with the fair use policy, we exclusively use the embedded players offered.
