PeerTube
A free, decentralized, and federated video streaming platform using P2P and ActivityPub to avoid vendor lock-in.
What is PeerTube?
PeerTube is a free, decentralized video streaming platform that uses the ActivityPub protocol for federation and peer-to-peer (P2P) technology in web browsers to distribute video load. It solves the problem of centralized control and data mining by enabling a network of independent, community-owned video hosts that interoperate without vendor lock-in.
Content creators, community organizers, and administrators seeking an ad-free, decentralized alternative to mainstream video platforms, as well as developers interested in federated or P2P technologies.
Developers choose PeerTube for its commitment to decentralization, avoidance of algorithmic manipulation, and ability to self-host a video platform that integrates with the wider Fediverse while reducing bandwidth costs through built-in P2P sharing.
