PeerTube

Decentralized, open-source video platform you can host yourself

About PeerTube

PeerTube is free, open-source software for creating your own video sharing platform, developed by the non-profit Framasoft. Instances host channels and videos independently yet can federate into one interconnected network, viewers can watch without tracking or advertising, and a mobile app covers the whole network. It suits creators, communities, and organizations that want an alternative to centralized video platforms and control over moderation.
