Select *Add/Remove Apps* then *peertube*. You will then be asked for a domain name and if you are using FreeDNS also the code for the domain which can be found under *Dynamic DNS* on the FreeDNS site (the random string from "/quick cron example/" which appears after /update.php?/ and before />>/). For more details on obtaining a domain and making it accessible via dynamic DNS see the [[./faq.html][FAQ]]. Typically the domain name you use will be a subdomain, such as /video.mydomainname.net/. It will need to be a domain which you have bought somewhere and own and not one of the FreeDNS subdomains, otherwise you won't be able to get a SSL/TLS certificate for it.
Although PeerTube can handle a few formats *webm* is the currently recommended one. Other formats might not play in some browsers or on some libre distros.

Prepare your videos in *ogv*, *mp4* or *webm* format. To minimize bandwidth usage try to keep your videos as small as possible. Giant videos with incredibly high resolution tend to result in a bad user experience. Often just converting your videos to *webm* using *ffmpeg* will keep the size down.
Prepare your videos preferably in *webm* format. Other formats may be poorly supported, especially on libre distros. To minimize bandwidth usage try to keep your videos as small as possible. Giant videos with incredibly high resolution tend to result in a bad user experience. Often just converting your videos to *webm* using *ffmpeg* will keep the size down.
Now copy or drag and drop your videos into the *~/Sync/peertube_upload* directory. Syncthing will sync to the server and automatically add the videos to PeerTube. Depending on how large the videos are this may take some time.
