European video platforms

Publish video on European and federated platforms

Replaces: Vimeo · Wistia · YouTube

A video platform is a place to publish videos and live streams for an audience, with channels to subscribe to, likes, comments and recommendations. Unlike a plain hosting service, the platform itself brings viewers: people browse it, follow creators and discover new material. This is the model most people know from YouTube, applied by other operators.

Creators on a single large platform depend entirely on its rules and its recommendation system, which can change without notice. PeerTube is federated, so instances run by European organisations connect to each other, and alugha is run from Europe. Choosing a European alternative to YouTube means smaller reach, so many creators publish in both places while building an audience they can contact directly.
