PeerTube is a free and open-source, decentralized, ActivityPub federated video platform. It can use peer-to-peer technology to reduce load on individual servers when videos get popular.
Started in 2017 by a programmer known as Chocobozzz, development of PeerTube is now supported by the French non-profit Framasoft.[4] The aim is to provide an alternative to centralized platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion.
As an ActivityPub platform, it is part of the federated network known as the Fediverse.
