When you press play on a film or series today, everything seems simple: entertainment is in the palm of your hand. But a decade ago, streaming presented a major challenge: finding a platform with wholesome, uplifting content that the whole family could watch without worry.

Why was UNIVER created 10 years ago?

On May 8, 2016, the UNIVER Vídeo project became a reality. Initially designed to broadcast only the meetings of the Universal Church, it soon embraced a broader purpose: meeting the urgent needs of thousands of families with an inspiring, uplifting catalog that would do everyone good. The project launched as “Univer para Crer,” with a clear purpose from its very first day.

UNIVER's journey over the last decade

That first step, which began with around 1,500 titles in its first year, flourished and continued to grow. In 2017, the brand matured into the name people around the world know and trust today: UNIVER Vídeo.

Over these 10 years, the platform reached major milestones:

  • Global expansion: we crossed borders and are now present in more than 150 countries.
  • An extensive catalog: we grew from a small collection to an impressive 12,000 hours of content, establishing ourselves as Latin America's largest Christian platform.
  • Historic broadcasts: we became a major hub for live broadcasts directly from the Temple of Solomon.
  • Major productions: our catalog includes exclusive, original and award-winning titles.

If we have come so far in 10 years, why change?

The answer is simple: content that uplifts and does people good should reach further. The world outside is growing ever noisier, and families need a streaming service like UNIVER Vídeo even more urgently than they did in 2016.

We realized that we needed to make this access available to more people. We needed to remove the last barrier preventing many from discovering the platform. That is why, to celebrate this new decade, UNIVER Vídeo is taking the biggest leap in its history by announcing UNIVER with free content.

For the first time, we are opening the doors of our platform! A special selection of films, series and Univer Kids cartoons will be available so anyone can experience 100% safe entertainment without paying anything.

And there is more. For our subscribers, the experience will reach a new level. Our platform is being rebuilt from the ground up. We will deliver new technology with much faster browsing, no ads and unlimited access to our entire catalog.

What we planted in 2016 has grown into a large tree. Now, in 2026, we are expanding the ground so millions of new homes can enjoy its fruit.

A new UNIVER is being born for a new decade.
