Developed by [Framasoft][1], the developers have been busy adding new functionality to PeerTube regularly. + +Sure, as a decentralized platform, it may not give you the same user experience (or quality) like YouTube. However, it is one of the [best decentralized open-source platforms][2] out there. + +On that note, they have introduced a new release in the form of **PeerTube V6** , that promises to deliver quite a few improvements. + +Allow me to take you through those. + +## 🆕 PeerTube V6: What's New? + +![The PeerTube Mascot for V6.][3] + +Taking pointers from the feedback they received from users, the PeerTube V6 release is a major version that **introduces some of the most requested features** from the community. + +Some **key highlights** include: + + * **Video Chapters** + * **Video Storyboard** + * **Replace Uploaded Video** + * **Password Protection for Video** + + + +### Video Chapters + +![][4] + +You can now **add chapters to videos** for specifying different sections of a video. This is a very handy little feature that **enhances the experience of the viewer** , allowing them to see what's in store for a video. + +As you can see above, after the chapters are set with their specific titles and time codes, markers will appear to divide the progress bar into different segments. + +### Video Storyboard + +![][5] + +Another feature that has arrived with the V6 release is the **ability to preview videos** by either hovering on the progress bar or dragging through it. + +This is also known as a _storyboard_ feature that is available on most popular video streaming platforms, and now PeerTube also has it. + +### Replace Uploaded Video + +![][6] + +Sometimes mistakes happen, and an incorrectly edited video makes it through to the viewers. Luckily, with PeerTube V6, that is a thing of the past. + +Users can now choose to **re-upload a video to replace an older one** with just a few clicks. When doing so, the URL, title, information, stats, and comments will remain unchanged. + +However, this feature has to be enabled by the admin of the PeerTube instance to work. A “Video re-upload” tag will be affixed to the videos that have been replaced. + +### Password Protection for Video + +![][7] + +You can now decide to **set a password on videos** to restrict access, or to distribute exclusive content. + +Admins and developers have more flexibility with PeerTube's in-house **REST API** , they can **set and store as many passwords as they want** , making it simpler to give/revoke access to videos. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][8] + +### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements + +Other than the above-mentioned highlights, here are some betterments worth noting: + + * Better remote runner management. + * SEO and video link sharing has been improved. + * Various fixes for accessibility and keyboard navigation. + * The video player has been improved, it no longer gets reloaded and saves the current player settings when playing a new video. + + + +You may go through the official [release notes][9] and [announcement blog][10] to know more. + +## 📥 Get PeerTube V6 + +You can head over to the [official website][11] to get started with PeerTube V6. + +[PeerTube][11] + +**For existing users** , you can upgrade your PeerTube installation by following the [official documentation][12]. + +Seeing how Google is getting more and [more aggressive][13] with monetizing their YouTube platform, it is great to see that community-driven platforms like PeerTube are still around. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][14] + +_💬 PeerTube is becoming a nice YouTube alternative, what do you think?_ + +* * * + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/peertube-v6/ + +作者:[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://framasoft.org/en/ +[2]: https://itsfoss.com/mainstream-social-media-alternaives/ +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/PeerTube_V6_a.png +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/PeerTube_V6_b.png +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/PeerTube_V6_c.jpg +[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/PeerTube_V6_d.png +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/PeerTube_V6_e.png +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/12/android-chrome-192x192.png +[9]: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v6.0.0 +[10]: https://joinpeertube.org/news/release-6.0 +[11]: https://joinpeertube.org/ +[12]: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/install/any-os +[13]: https://news.itsfoss.com/youtube-firefox/ +[14]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/08/android-chrome-192x192.png
