Barcelona video conferencing with end-to-end encryption, GDPR-native infrastructure, and a Zoom-style free tier plus Digital Samba Embedded — a white-label SDK for developers.
Barcelona video conferencing running since 2003, with end-to-end encryption, a free Zoom-style meeting product and an embeddable white-label SDK for developers.
Digital Samba is a Barcelona-based video conferencing platform founded in 2003, making it one of Europe's longest-running video meeting services. The product line covers two distinct offerings: Digital Samba Free (a Zoom/Meet-style end-user product) and Digital Samba Embedded (a white-label SDK for developers building video into their own apps).
The platform runs entirely on European infrastructure with European sub-processors only, making it one of the strongest GDPR-native alternatives to Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet for EU companies and public sector organisations.
Key features:
- Instant meeting links that stay active for 30 days with no account required
- End-to-end encryption (E2EE) option for sensitive meetings
- Screen sharing and collaborative tools
- Q&A, polling, shared notes, whiteboards built-in
- Digital Samba Embedded, a white-label video SDK and API for developers
- 100% European infrastructure with no US or non-EU sub-processors
- GDPR-compliant, SOC 1-aligned processes
- No tracking, no data profiling, and no monetisation of meetings
- SSL/TLS encryption in transit
- Free tier that stays completely free with no hidden costs
Headquartered in Barcelona (Travessera de Gràcia 98 bis 6-2, 08012). A strong Spanish alternative to Zoom and Teams for teams that need EU data residency without compromising on features, or a video API for developers building custom collaboration tools.
