SyncTube

Product Overview: SyncTube

SyncTube is a self-hosted software project that allows users to create their own video hosting platform, similar to YouTube, but with a decentralized and community-driven approach. Instead of relying on a single central authority, SyncTube enables multiple small interconnected video hosting providers to form a network, promoting freedom and autonomy for creators and viewers alike.

Main Features:

• Video Streaming: Upload your videos and stream them live or as permanent streams.
• Discovery: Add descriptions, tags, and embed players on your favorite website to make your videos discoverable across the PeerTube network.
• Live Events: Host live events and start livestreaming from your favorite client.
• Community Building: Follow your favorite channels and creators across different platforms (Mastodon, Pleroma, RSS) without needing an account on each instance.
• Decentralized Network: SyncTube connects multiple small video hosting providers to form a network, promoting autonomy and community-driven moderation.

As the project's mission statement emphasizes, SyncTube aims to create a free and decentralized alternative to YouTube, empowering creators and viewers alike with control over their content and experience.
