Dailymotion is more than a video app, it's a visual conversation in motion, based on a unique algorithm designed to broaden users' horizons. Dailymotion brings nuance to the debates that animate young people and puts listening, discovery, and kindness back at the heart of interactions to help build a better and safer Internet.

Dailymotion is also "Dailymotion Pro", a video hosting and broadcasting solution for professionals in all sectors; and "Dailymotion Advertising", a powerful, proprietary video advertising platform, offering a high-quality, secure environment for brands.
