But some pars of PeerTube can be horizontally scaled to bypass the following limits, as described in our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain/configuration#scalability">scalability guide</a>:
Control the PeerTube player embed using the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api/embed-player">embed API</a>
As a result, on your PeerTube website, the audience will be able to watch not only your videos, but also videos hosted by Zaïd, Catherin or Solar... without having to host their videos on your PeerTube-powered website. Such diversity in a video-catalog makes it very attractive. Such a large choice and diversity of videos is what made centralized platforms such as YouTube succesful.

Before this peer-to-peer broadcast, successful videographers (or videos that make the buzz) were doomed to be hosted by a web giant whose infrastructure can handle millions of simultaneous views... Or to pay for a very expensive independent video host so that it can hold the load.
<p>Today, when searching for videos on a PeerTube instance, it is hard to <strong>find content that is not in the federation bubble</strong> of that instance.</p> <p>We will create a <strong>server that indexes all videos</strong> and channels from all PeerTube instances that are listed on <a href="https://instances.joinpeertube.org/">the public directory</a>. The code for this indexing engine will be open source, so that anyone can host their own by setting their own eligibility rules.</p> <p>Each PeerTube instance administrator will be able to choose to <strong> use one of these indexing engines for their instance's search bar</strong>.</p> <p>In addition, <strong>announcements</strong> will allow instance administrators to display information to visitors.</p>
