It might not look like it, but thanks to peer-to-peer broadcasting, popular video makers and their videos are no longer forced to be hosted by big companies, whose infrastructure can stand thousands of views at the same time... or to pay for a robust but extremely expensive independent video host.
More details on our plans can be found on the <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/projects/6">PeerTube Github page</a>. Please note that these are the main features and developments. They can evolve due to circumstances, contributions, timings, etc. To be informed of any change, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://framalistes.org/sympa/subscribe/peertube-newsletter">subscribe to PeerTube newsletter</a>.
We remind you that we don't make money developing PeerTube, and if we obviously hope for its success, Framasoft does not depend on it to continue its activities.

Peer-to-peer broadcasting allows, thanks to the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC">WebRTC</a> protocol, that Internet users who watch the same video at the same time exchange bits of files, which relieves the server.

Our organization started in 2004, and now devotes itself <strong>to popular education about digital technology issues.</strong> We are a small structure of less than 40 members and under 10 employees, well-known for the De-google-ify Internet project, when we offered 34 ethical and alternative online tools. As a public interest organization, <strong>over 90% of our funding comes from donations</strong> (tax deductible for French taxpayers).
