Yes, the origin server always seeds videos uploaded on it thanks to
[Webseed](http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html).
-It can also be helped by other servers using [redundancy](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/lang/en/devdocs/architecture.html#redundancy-between-instances).

## What is WebSeed?
## Which container formats can I use for the videos I want to upload?
-WEBM, MP4 or OGV videos.
+WEBM, MP4 or OGV videos are supported by default (they are streamable formats),
+but instance administrators can additionally enable support for MKV, MOV, AVI
+and FLV formats when transcoding is enabled on their instance.
## I want to change my domain name, how can I do that?
-You can't. You'll need to reinstall an instance and reupload your videos.
+It's not officially supported, but you can try the `update-host` script: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/#/maintain-tools?id=update-hostjs
## Why do we have to put our Twitter username in PeerTube configuration?
## How video views are calculated?
-Your web browser sends a view to the server after 30 seconds of playback. Then, the IP cannot send another view in the next hour.
+Your web browser sends a view to the server after 30 seconds of playback. If a video is less than 30 seconds in length, a view is sent after 75% of the video. After giving a view, that IP address cannot add another view in the next hour.
Views are buffered, so don't panic if the view counter stays the same after you watched a video.
## Can I seed videos with my classic BitTorrent client (Transmission, rTorrent...)?
Yes you can, but you won't be able to send data to users that watch the video in their web browser.
-The reason is they connects to peers through WebRTC whereas your BitTorrent client uses classic TCP/UDP.

To check if your BitTorrent client supports WebTorrent you can see this issue: https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent/issues/369
## Why host on GitHub and Framagit?
-The project has initially been hosted on GitHub by Chocobozzz. A full migration to [Framagit](https://framagit.org/chocobozzz/PeerTube) would be ideal now that Framasoft supports PeerTube, but it would take a lot of time and is an ongoing effort.

## Are you going to use the Steem blockchain?
## I have found a security vulnerability in PeerTube. Where and how should I report it?
We have a policy for contributions related to security. Please refer to [SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md)
+
+## Does PeerTube ensures federation compatibility with previous version?
+
+We **try** to keep compatibility with the latest minor version (2.3.1 with 2.2 for example).
+We don't have resources to keep compatibility with other versions.
