I’m hearing murmurs of YouTube blocking browsers that support ad blockers.
You know where you don’t have to worry about such things? Host your videos on a #PeerTube instance and use #Owncast for your live video streaming needs.
A huge thank you to everyone who has financially donated to Owncast. Your contributions allowed the project to invest in a brand new explainer video to use when talking about the project.
These kind of non-technical initiatives are important for Owncast, and I hope we can find more ways to create content that can be used in different contexts to share the project with others.
Owncast is a growing open source project that could use your help.
Specifically there's a lot of web UI (#React) that could use somebody who can focus on that. And as the project is nearing a couple years old now, it's becoming time to level-up the architecture of the backend (#Golang) to prepare for new features.
I'd love it if you could share this with your network of talented friends and colleagues to help kick off the next chapter of independent live streaming.
while ActivityPub integration is under development you can always keep an eye on the growing owncast streamer community at https://directory.owncast.online
if you are already streaming with owncast and wish to have your go live published on the directory and announced by @owncast@botsin.space be sure to go to Configuration->General and set "Enable Directory" to ON
