@Mrfunkedude Pixelfed will soon support p2p for videos, similar to torrents but in the browser, admins will enjoy reduced CDN/origin use!

@dansup Doesn’t that only work if multiple people are watching at the same time? Or am I thinking of something else? It’s late.

@Mrfunkedude Yes! This feature really shines for popular videos that have multiple simultaneous viewers, reducing the load/bandwidth on the origin.

This is one of our @NGIZero milestones, and has been in the works for a while!

@gytis @Mrfunkedude Yes! We are actually using the same library as PeerTube and are aiming for full compatibility with their implementation!
