## What is Peertube ?
|
||||
PeerTube is a federated (ActivityPub) video streaming platform using P2P (BitTorrent) directly in the web browser, using <a href="https://github.com/feross/webtorrent">WebTorrent</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<strong>Peertube is running <a href="https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform">a crowdfunding campaign</a> to pave the road to version 1.0 of PeerTube! If you liked the app, please donate.</strong>

||||
## Why Peertube ?
|
||||
|
||||
We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo... with a centralized software. One organization alone cannot have enough money to pay bandwidth and video storage of its server.
|
||||
|
||||
So we need to have a decentralized network of servers seeding videos (as [Hubzilla YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/hubzilla_ynh), [Friendica YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh),[Mastodon YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mastodon_ynh)), [Diaspora](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora) ([Diaspora YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/diaspora_ynh)),[Funkwhale](https://funkwhale.audio) ([Funkwhale YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/funkwhale_ynh))).
|
||||
But it's not enough because one video could become famous and overload the server.
|
||||
It's the reason why we need to use a P2P protocol to limit the server load.
|
||||
Thanks to [WebTorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent), we can make P2P (thus BitTorrent) inside the web browser, as of today.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why is that cool ?
|
||||
Servers are run independently by different people and organizations. They can apply wildly different moderation policies, so you can find or make one that fits your taste perfectly.
|
||||
|
||||
By watching a video, you help the hosting provider to broadcast it by becoming a broadcaster of the video yourself. Each instance doesn’t need much money to broadcast the videos of its users.
