#+title: Peertubeify

PeerTubeify is a browser extension to help discovering which YouTube videos are
also available on [[https://joinpeertube.org/][PeerTube]], by displaying a link and a thumbnail below the video
title, when watching a video on YouTube.

If you choose to automatically redirect from YouTube to PeerTube, it uses
[[https://invidio.us/][Invidious]] to get the video information without making any requests to YouTube
from your browser, for added privacy.

It also allows you to choose a preferred PeerTube instance; when you watch a
video on another instance, a link to the same video in your preferred instance
is displayed.

PeerTube is a federated video streaming platform.

PeerTubeify is not affiliated with PeerTube.

* How does it work?

Most videos have the same title on YouTube and PeerTube. Hence — for now? —
PeerTubeify uses the =/search/videos= endpoint of the PeerTube API to check if a
video with the same title exists.
