About

PeerTube is a free, open-source, and decentralized video hosting platform developed by Framasoft as an ethical alternative to centralized platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. It operates on a federated network of independently hosted instances, allowing anyone to self-host their own video platform while remaining interconnected with others. Users can discover, watch, upload, and manage videos without tracking, ads, or vendor lock-in.

Problem

Mainstream video platforms centralize user data and attention, leaving creators and viewers with no control over their content or experience.

For

Individuals, creators, and organizations seeking a decentralized, ad-free alternative to mainstream video platforms

How it works

PeerTube uses ActivityPub federation to connect a network of independently hosted instances, enabling users to follow creators and share videos across the entire network without a central authority.
