We just released #PeerTube v8.2.0! 🥳
This version brings the ability to:
⏯️ seek within and pause the live
👥 transfer channel ownership to another user
✂️ remove segments of a video in Studio
The UX has also been improved!

Thankfully we learned our lesson and will never make that mistake again.
Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children.
