Hello guys. I hope it’s okay to post a question in this community.

I’m basically looking for a Youtube and Google Drive alternative for video sharing. I’ve looked at Peertube, Dtube and Odyssee, but frankly, I don’t like them because there is some questionable content on those sites.

That said, I don’t want to get into personal views and stuff, I just want to find an alternative to Big Tech. I want to upload videos and be able to share them with friends online. ‘I upload and they stream’ is what I’m looking for.

Proton Drive offers video preview, but it’s limited to a 100 MB file and my videos are going to be longer.

TIA for any and all suggestions.

EDIT: I’m looking for a service.

EDIT 2:

Thanks everyone with your input. As storage, I’ll be using Proton Drive, which has a 100 MB video preview limit. That means I have to decrease the file size, which can be done in different ways. First, I can shoot the video in 1080p 30 fps, which takes less space than 60 fps and/or higher video resolution. I can also decrease the video size by getting rid of sound, which I don’t need. For that, I’ll use either LosslessCut, which is an awesome software because you can cut and disable sound without having to re-encode the video. It literally takes seconds to output an edited video. I can also use Handbrake to decrease the quality of the video. The end result will render the video relatively low quality, so it might not be usable for you, but for me it’s good enough.

          I also use Vimeo for videos I can’t send directly to people or host my self. For example if I post a FreeCAD howto I put it there so I can link to it from comments and stuff and I know everyone will be able to play it. While it’s not open source, It’s really pretty great as an alternative platform with all the youtube like features and more (you can change your video title if you make a mistake for example).
