About PeerTube
PeerTube is free, open source video hosting software developed by Framasoft. Anyone can run a video platform, and those platforms can be connected into a shared network of independent sites.
What it does
A platform operator installs PeerTube, publishes videos and sets the rules for the site. Viewers can watch content hosted on their own platform and on other connected platforms in the same network. The software does not rely on advertising or tracking, and each platform is managed by its own owner.
Key features
- Host your own video platform
- Browse videos across connected platforms
- Runs without ads or tracking
- Upload, publish and manage videos
- Mobile apps for watching across the network
Who it's for
Video creators who want their own channel, communities and groups that want a private or themed video site, and organizations that prefer self-hosted tools over large video services.
Pricing and good to know
PeerTube is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license and free to use. Running a platform needs a server with enough storage and bandwidth for video, which is the main cost. Moderation is handled by each platform owner, so rules and content policies differ from one site to another.
