We don't really need to use a private privacy until the user submits the second step, because it requires an additional and intentional step (streaming the live in the RTMP URL) for the user |

Introduction
PeerTube is a free, decentralized and federated video platform developed as an alternative to other platforms that centralize our data and attention, such as YouTube, Dailymotion or Vimeo. 🎬
To learn more:
- This two-minute video (hosted on PeerTube) explaining what PeerTube is and how it works
- PeerTube's project homepage, joinpeertube.org
- Demonstration instances:
- peertube.cpy.re (stable)
- peertube2.cpy.re (Nightly)
- peertube3.cpy.re (RC)
- This video demonstrating the communication between PeerTube and Mastodon (a decentralized Twitter alternative)
✨ Features
All features for viewers | All features for content creators | All features for administrators
Video streaming, even in live!
Just upload your videos, and be sure they will stream anywhere. Add a description, some tags and your video will be discoverable by the entire video fediverse, not just your instance. You can even embed a player on your favorite website!
You are used to hosting live events? We got you covered too! Start livestreaming from your favorite client, and even host permanent streams!
Keep in touch with video creators
Follow your favorite channels from PeerTube or really any other place. No need to have an account on the instance you watched a video to follow its author, you can do all of that from the Fediverse (Mastodon, Pleroma, and plenty others), or just with good ol' RSS.
An interface to call home
Be it as a user or an instance administrator, you can decide what your experience will be like. Don't like the colors? They are easy to change. Don't want to list videos of an instance but let your users subscribe to them? Don't like the regular web client? All of that can be changed, and much more. No UX dark pattern, no mining your data, no video recommendation bullshit™.
Communities that help each other
In addition to visitors using P2P with WebRTC to share the load among them, instances can help each other by caching one another's videos. This way even small instances have a way to show content to a wider audience, as they will be shouldered by friend instances (more about that in our redundancy guide).
Content creators can get help from their viewers in the simplest way possible: a support button showing a message linking to their donation accounts or really anything else. No more pay-per-view and advertisements that hurt visitors and alter creativity (more about that in our FAQ).

You don't need to be a programmer to help!
