We'd like to share these use cases so anyone can start building their own custom intro or outro.

Here’s what that means for video.](/content/blog/europe-wants-less-big-tech/index.html): Europe wants to reduce dependence on non-EU platforms and regain control over digital infrastructure.

(967 words) - [Why GDPR compliance is an ongoing process](/content/blog/why-gdpr-compliance-is-an-ongoing-process/index.html): Privacy has become part of the daily digital work. New campaigns, landing pages, analytics tools, embedded content, newsletters, and yes, video platforms all raise the same question: Are we actually handling this correctly? (1,138 words) - [EU-hosted does not mean sovereign](/content/blog/eu-hosted-does-not-mean-sovereign/index.html): Many platforms position themselves as "sovereign" because their infrastructure is located in Europe.

(805 words) - [Statamic addon](/content/blog/statamic-addon/index.html): Statamic is a fantastic CMS with a wonderful community. It's super developer-friendly and easily extendable with addons. If you're reading this, you probably already appreciate Statamic. However, when it comes to integrating video, the options are limited to either using YouTube or linking directly to an MP4 file. Interestingly, even Statamic's own site includes a rick-roll when showcasing their video capabilities.
