<p>The biggest challenge of live streaming on PeerTube is to <strong>get the live stream to be peer-to-peer</strong>. After extensive testing, we believe this is possible.</p> <p>By using the HLS technology that has been built into the PeerTube video player since version 1.3, we believe we can <strong>create a live stream with one minute of lag between streamers and viewers</strong>.</p> <p>We want to lay the technological foundation for this live stream feature, so <strong>this first version of PeerTube Live will be minimalist</strong>. There will be no stream captation tools, no built-in chat, no react emojis...</p> <p>However, we want to make sure that <strong>once the live stream is over, the video will be processed and added to the creator's channel</strong>, with every requirement for proper federation checked.</p>

In the meantime, as an user if you feel that PeerTube 1.0 does not currently meet your needs, it's simple: don't use it right now :) (we remind you that we don't make money developing PeerTube, and that if we obviously hope for its success, the survival of our association doesn't depend on it).
Broadcast message system that allows instances administrators to display information to people who visit it is now active. This is a handy feature to indicate that your instance will be in maintenance on a certain day and that the service might be disrupted... or anything else!
