We are glad to announce that a big part of PeerTube v4 will be funded through an NLnet grant under their <a href="https://nlnet.nl/discovery/" target="_blank">"Search and discovery" program</a> (find <a href="https://nlnet.nl/project/PeerTube/" target="_blank">here</a> their page on PeerTube).
With PeerTube, <strong>you can choose the hoster of your videos according to his terms of services</strong>, his moderation policy, his federation choices... As you don't have a tech giant facing you, you might be able to talk with you hoster if you ever have a problem, a need, or something you want.
We are pleased to announce that the foundation stones of this system have been laid in this 1.4 release! It might be very basic for now, but we plan on improving it bit by bit in Peertube's future releases.

We encourage admins to enable live transcoding for live streaming. Even though it will take processing power and induce some lag, it is really essential to facilitate the experience both for streamers (who can use basic OBS settings) and for viewers (who can watch in their preferred video resolution).
We have also improved PeerTube performances: loading an instance's interface for the first time is now faster. We also have fixed a few bugs on the player that were reported to us.
We have also improved the video edition form (that you can access when you upload or update a video). The menu to select the channel now displays the channel icon and the language selector displays the language currently set by the instance on top of the list. Finally, the privacy selector provides a clearer description of the available choices.
You're right. PeerTube is not the perfect tool, far from it. And we never promised that this version 1.0 would be a tool that would include all the features corresponding to all cases.
We have just released <a target="_blank" href="https://sepiasearch.org">SepiaSearch</a>, our search engine to help you discover videos and channels on PeerTube!
We have made many other improvements in this new version. You can read the whole list (in English) on <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md">https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md</a>.
We have modified some elements in the Administration menu (available for instance administrators only). For example in the "users" tab, the "Create user" button is now on the left side to be more visible. Also administrators can now customize the value of video quota (total and daily) of each user.
We have only one developer dedicated to PeerTube (not even full time), helped by others in our team (design, administration, communication, etc.). Maintaining PeerTube means lots of different tasks (learn more about it <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://joinpeertube.org/faq#who-does-what-in-peertube">here in our FAQ</a>), and we don't want him (or anyone else, for that matter) to burn himself out to fulfill everyone's expectations.
We haven't yet identified any PeerTube instance administrator who use these plugins and generate a public list. But if there is, please let us know on our <a target="_blank" href="https://framacolibri.org/t/lists-for-plugin-auto-block-videos-plugin-auto-mute/">forum</a>.
We haven't yet identified any PeerTube instance administrator who use these plugins and generate a public list. So we are requesting the community to create these lists <a target="_blank" href="https://framacolibri.org/t/lists-for-plugin-auto-block-videos-plugin-auto-mute/8484">on our forum</a>.
We just released PeerTube <em>beta 12</em>, that allows to subscribe to video channels, whether they are on your instance or even on remote instances. This way, you can browse videos of your subscribed channels in a dedicated page. Moreover, if your PeerTube administrator allows it, you can search a channel or a video directly by typing their web address in the PeerTube search bar.
