PeerTube v7.3 is out!
Facilitating the adoption of software is a long-term endeavour involving several stages. We are proud to present to you few of them that PeerTube has completed!
Emails in your language!
Until now, emails sent by PeerTube platforms were only available in English, regardless of the user's language. This could cause confusion for non-native English speakers, making it difficult to use PeerTube in a professional context.
This was one of the most popular requests on our community suggestions page: it is now possible to translate emails into all the languages available on PeerTube! Some languages, such as French and Chinese, have already been fully translated, meaning you can now receive emails in these languages from this version onwards! We encourage the community to help us translate emails, as well as other parts of PeerTube, on our translation platform (contributing guide is available at https://docs.joinpeertube.org/support/doc/translation).
Configuring your platform
We have significantly enhanced the user experience and interface to assist administrators in configuring their platform.. The horizontal menu has been replaced with a new side menu for navigating between setting pages, which is more user-friendly.
A new configuration page called Customisation has been added, allowing admins to easily change their platform's main colors and shapes. For example, it is now possible to replace PeerTube's orange color with blue or make the buttons more rounded with just a few clicks. These new settings make it much easier to customise a PeerTube platform.
Another configuration page called Logo has also been added. This allows admins to configure the icons and logos displayed on their platform, including the header icon on the web and mobile versions, the favicon, the banner, the image displayed on social media, etc.
This new version also features a wizard to help admins configure their PeerTube platform. Once logged into your admin account, you can easily set up elements such as your platform's name, description, logo and main color, as well as choosing a preconfiguration based on the type of platform you want to administer, such as private, community or institutional.
If you are caught up in the excitement of using your PeerTube instance during installation and do not feel like using the wizard, you can launch it later by going to your platform's settings.
Schedule your live streams
Thanks to a contribution (made in live on PeerTube), it is now possible to schedule streams. To do this, simply go to the live stream settings and enter the start date and time in the relevant section.
The scheduled date of the live stream will be displayed on the live stream page, as well as on the page listing a channel's videos.
And much more!
As always, the new version brings many other features and redesigns, in addition to the new features described above. Among them:
- The playlist management page has been redesigned to make it easier to use. It is also possible to choose the order in which playlists are displayed publicly within a channel.
- Admins can now configure the default values for the "Licence", "Visibility" and "Comment Policy" fields when publishing a video.
- Users can list active login sessions and revoke them if necessary.
