And there's more! PeerTube uses Activity Pub, a federating protocol that <strong>allows you to interact with other software</strong>, provided they also use this protocol. For example, PeerTube and Mastodon -a Twitter alternative- are connected: <strong>you can follow a PeerTube user from Mastodon</strong> (the latest videos from the PeerTube account you follow will appear in your feed), <strong>and even comment on a PeerTube-hosted video directly from your Mastodon's account.</strong>
At a time when no one knows what the future holds, we deemed it was not appropriate to start a crowdfunding campaign and threaten not to do our best on PeerTube if we did not get the necessary funds.
As you can see <a href="https://docs.joinpeertube.org/#/use-create-upload-video?id=publish-a-live-in-peertube-gt-v3">in our <i>how to go live</i> documentation</a>, PeerTube streamers will need a broadcasting software (we recommend the Free-Libre software <a href="https://obsproject.com">OBS</a>), and use the live RTMP key.
And finally, we improved the embed API, allowing websites that embed a PeerTube video to have better control over the player: knowing the video's length, knowing when playback is over, exporting video subtitles, indicating a specific subtitle to activate.

Another feature of this 1.3 version has been entirely developed by an external contributor: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://github.com/joshmorel">Josh Morel</a> who add <strong>a quarantine system</strong> for videos on PeerTube. If the administrator of an instance enables this feature, any new video uploaded on his instance will automatically be hidden until a moderator approves it.
