PeerTube is not subject to the monopoly of any company
Like the other tools developed by Framasoft, PeerTube considers you as a person and not as a product to be profiled and locked in video loops.
PeerTube is free, open-source, created for non-commercial purposes.
An ethical and open source digital common
PeerTube belongs to you. At any time, you can help us to improve PeerTube with your ideas, suggestion or by modifying the source code yourself.
PeerTube is a free software, not a secret formula that belongs to Google (in the case of Youtube) or to Vivendi/Bolloré (Dailymotion). This free/libre license guarantees our fundamental freedoms as users.
PeerTube exists thanks to your donations!
Framasoft does not make money by developing PeerTube! We are a public interest organization where over 90% of our funding comes from donations.

Mi a PeerTube?
PeerTube is a tool that you install on a web server. It allows you to create a video hosting website, so create your "homemade YouTube".
Abban különbözik a YouTube-tól, hogy nem egy hatalmas platform készítéséhez tervezték a világ minden tájáról származó videók egyetlen kiszolgálófarmon történő központosításhoz (amely szörnyen drága).
Ellenkezőleg, a PeerTube elgondolása sok kicsi, egymással összekapcsolt videómegosztó-szolgáltatók hálózatának létrehozása.
Is PeerTube's purpose to replace YouTube?
We can answer with certainty: no!
The ambition remains to be a free and decentralized alternative: the goal of an alternative is not to replace, but to propose something else, with different values, in parallel to what already exists.
Mik a PeerTube legfőbb előnyei?
PeerTube is unique because (as far as we know) it's the only video hosting web application which combines three advantages:
An open code under a free/libre license
- PeerTube is freely provided, no need to pay to install it on your server;
- We can look under the hood of PeerTube (its source code): it's auditable, transparent;
- It can be enhanced by everyone's contributions.
A federation of interconnected hosting providers
- It decentralizes video storage and decision-making power;
- We can display videos and accounts of other PeerTube websites;
- It's based on ActivityPub to connect with tools like Mastodon for example.
Peer-to-peer broadcasting
- It reduces server bandwidth overload if a video becomes viral;
- We become an actor of the video broadcasting;
- It's based on WebRTC, a free and open-source project for web browsers.
