<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>

<strong>Framasoft</strong> (that's us!) is a French non-for-profit organization created in 2004, dedicated <strong>to popular education</strong> on digital matters.

It allows you to choose a hoster that fits you. YouTube's excesses are a good exemple: its hoster, Google/Alphabet, can impose its "Robocopyright" (the ContentID system) or its tools to index, recommend and spotlight videos; and those tools seem as unfair as they are obscure. Even though, it already forces you <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://tosdr.org/#youtube"> to give it extended copyrights on your videos, for free</a>!
Our association creates digital tools (services, courses and resources, software) to equip the people who participate in a "contribution society". Amongst these, we lead the development of federated softwares PeerTube and Mobilizon (an upcoming alternative to Facebook events, pages and groups).
