Open-source Vidyard alternatives

PeerTube is a free, decentralized and federated video platform, developed by Framasoft as an alternative to centralized services such as YouTube, Dailymotion and Vimeo. It is a network of many small, interoperable video hosting providers, called instances, and it is described as community-owned and ad-free.

Users can upload videos and have them streamed anywhere, with descriptions and tags that make them discoverable across the whole federated network, not only one instance. Live streaming, including permanent streams, is supported, and a player can be embedded on other websites. Viewers can follow channels from the Fediverse, such as Mastodon, without an account on the instance hosting the video.

PeerTube uses ActivityPub for federation and peer-to-peer technology in the browser to share bandwidth between viewers. It is written in TypeScript with Angular and released under the AGPL-3.0 license. People can join an existing instance or create their own, so it fits both self-hosters and communities, and demonstration instances are listed.

MediaCMS is an open-source content management system for video and other media. It is meant for organizations that want their own platform for viewing and sharing media, and the README says it can be used to put together a small to medium video portal in minutes. A public demo is available.

The stack is Python with Django and Celery on the server and React on the front end, and a REST API is included for integration. Listed features include complete control over your data through self-hosting, support for several publishing workflows such as public, private, unlisted and custom, and role-based access control with RBAC categories. Repository topics also cover audio, video sharing and CMS use cases.

MediaCMS is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and is designed to run on your own server. It suits schools, companies, communities and creators that want an internal or public video library without relying on a third-party video platform, and that are comfortable administering a Django application.
