<p>While each new version of PeerTube has brought <a href="https://joinpeertube.org/faq#peertube-developers-did-not-add-moderation-tools">new moderation features</a>, there is still much to be done to <strong>facilitate moderation</strong> of content and accounts within the fediverse. That's why we want to <strong>dedicate a month to the development of new moderation tools</strong>.</p> <p>The list of features we have to develop or improve is long: reports logs and monitoring, moderation history, comments moderation, moderation reports related to an account, feedback on steps taken (or not) following a report, <strong>fight against spam</strong>, sharing blocklists of instances, accounts or content...</p> <p>This list is being built <a href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/labels/Component%3A%20Moderation%20%3Agodmode%3A"><strong>in collaboration with the community</strong></a>, and it is with these needs in mind that we will try to prioritize the moderation tools developed during this month.</p>
<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>

We recommend you to create your own digital identity, without using "PeerTube" for your project (software name, website domain...) to not confuse people about who is behind the website/project.
Hiring another developer, developing an official mobile app, promoting the PeerTube ecosystem... These are a few of the things we plan to do in 2024, on top of an exciting v7 roadmap.
For now, the solution proposed to people who upload videos is to use the "support" button under the video. This button displays a frame in which people who upload videos can display text, images, and links freely. For example, it's possible to put a link to Patreon, Tipeee, Paypal, Liberapay (or any other solution) there. Other examples: put a postal address if you'd like to receive physical thank-you cards, put a logo of your enterprise, a link to support a non-profit organisation...
