What is PeerTube? | JoinPeerTube
joinpeertube.org
A free software to take back control of your videos! With more than 600,000 hosted videos, viewed more than 70 millions times and 150,000 users, PeerTube is the decentralized free software alternative to videos platforms developed by Framasoft

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube’s appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

    There are currently two main reasons I don’t use PeerTube:

    1. Videos have inconsistent playback performance.
    2. It’s pretty confusing and difficult to use if you are just looking for an experience similar to YouTube.

    If they can find a way to make playback performance consistent and make the entire experience better, then I’d consider using it. But, I already use YouTube alternatives like Odysee and Rumble, so I don’t know how much I’d end up actually using PeerTube.
