Vydra is the ultimate self-hosted video cloud platform built with Laravel. It's not just another video player – it's a complete private video drive solution designed for businesses, teams, and creators who need secure, controlled video sharing without public links. Think of it as your own private, encrypted YouTube or Google Drive for video.

Why Vydra? Traditional video sharing risks leaks through public URLs. Vydra eliminates this by making every video private by default. No public access. No insecure links. Just complete control over who sees your content, with enterprise-grade HLS streaming and AES-128 encryption.
