Veoh (/ˈviːoʊ/) was an American video-sharing website, created in September 2005 by Dmitry Shapiro and Ted Dunning.
Originally launched as a virtual television network application, Veoh re-established itself as a video-sharing website in March 2006. During the mid-2000s, it was one of the largest video-sharing websites, though eventually began to be superseded by YouTube, Dailymotion and Vimeo. In February 2010, the company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, until it was saved two months later by the technology company Qlipso Inc. In June 2013, it was sold to Japanese blogging host FC2, Inc.
On October 17, 2024, Veoh announced on its homepage that the website would be shutting down on November 11, 2024. After the closure, all visitors were automatically redirected to FC2 Video. This message was later amended, announcing that Veoh's video library had been uploaded to FC2 Video, and that all former Veoh users could log into FC2 Video with their former Veoh credentials to access their content.
