Federated Video Streaming
Before true p2p video sharing, a potential intermediate step is sharing video over federated servers.
You can modify open source video sharing software to support open protocols. Then you can watch videos hosted on the other federated servers, similar to how OStatus works for social networking/microblogging.
Examples
PeerTube is an example of this, using the ActivityPub protocol that has mostly replaced OStatus in federated microblogging apps like Mastodon and Pleroma. --Strypey (talk) 14:37, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
