We really want to thank the PeerTube community for its work and support. We also want to thank NLnet for their grant that will fund the major part of our work on PeerTube this year, thus relieving us from having to organize a dedicated crowdfunding in 2021.
We remind you that you can ask questions on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framacolibri.org/c/qualite/peertube">the PeerTube forum</a>. You can also contact us directly on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://contact.framasoft.org"> https://contact.framasoft.org</a>.
We remind you that you can track the progress of the work directly <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube"> on the git repository</a>, and be part of the discussions/bug reports/feature requests in the "Issues" tab.

We strive to improve PeerTube's interface by collecting users' opinions so that we know what is causing them trouble (in terms of understanding and usability for example). Even though this is a time-consuming undertaking, this new release already offers you a few modifications.
We truly believe that empowering instance administrators and content creators to customize their instances and channels is a great way forward to help PeerTube users to find and identify the videos they want to watch.
We would like to thank every person who has contributed to the fundraising of the v3 for their generosity (especially in a difficult time for everyone). Thanks also to the sponsors of this v3, Octopuce, Code Lutin and the Debian project. Last but not least, our deepest thanks to every person who, in their own way, worked and contributed to help this v3 get complete.
We're also redesigning the <strong>PeerTube video player</strong> to offer better video playback and to correct a few bugs. With this new player, resolution changes should be smoother and the bandwidth management is optimized with a more efficient buffering system. Version 1.3 of PeerTube also adds ability for administrators to enable this new experimental player so we can get feedback on it. We hope to use this new player by default in the future.
We've already developed several plugins in the last few weeks, which in many cases increases the possibilities of interaction between the plugins and the core PeerTube software. We're going to continue along this path, by creating an annotation plugin, which allows you to display information at a given point in a video.
We've had lots of tests and feedback from pioneers (shout out to <a href="https://framacolibri.org/t/fonctionnalite-live-retour-dutilisation/10070">Le Canard Réfractaire</a> for their help), and we are now confident that a PeerTube p2p live stream can scale up to hundreds of simultaneous users (but not thousands - not yet).
When you are logged in and put your mouse on videos' thumbnails, a small clock-shaped icon appears in the thumbnail's upper right corner to display Watch Later. Click it to add the video to your Watch Later playlist.
When you want to download a video on PeerTube (to do this, you just need to click on the three horizontal dots located in the menu under the video, and select Download), a window now shows detailed information about the file. This new feature is only active for videos uploaded after the release of version 2.2.
While most of our roadmap for PeerTube is covered by NLnet's donation, the rest will come from our own budget. Framasoft is funded by grassroots supporters who give us money for all our actions and projects.
With this v3, admins will have the option to enable live streaming, for which they can set a maximum number of ongoing and awaiting live streams (per user and for the whole instance). They will also be able to set up a maximum duration limit for live streams.
