Overview
PeerTube is a decentralised, federated video platform developed by Framasoft as an alternative to YouTube, Dailymotion or Vimeo. Anyone can run an instance, and instances connect to each other and to the wider fediverse, so videos and channels can be followed across servers.
What it does well
PeerTube lets you upload videos, add descriptions and tags, and have them discovered across the whole video fediverse, not just your own instance. It supports live streams, including permanent ones, and an embeddable player. People can follow channels from Mastodon and other fediverse apps without an account on your instance. Admins control moderation, appearance and which other instances they federate with, and there are no ads.
Why it’s in the collection
PeerTube gives organisations and creators a video platform they own, without ads or an algorithm deciding who sees what. It's AGPL-licensed.
