It's possible to import videos from the main proprietary video hosting sites. /Only do this if they're videos which you made, or if the license is Creative Commons/. Hosting arbitrary videos under nonfree licenses is likely to get you into trouble, and we know how that works out from the P2P wars of the 2000s (i.e. badly).
Go to the *Administrator control panel*, select *App settings* then *peertube* then *Import videos from YouTube/Vimeo/Dailymotion*. Enter your PeerTube login details and then you may specify either the individual video URL or the channel URL if you want to import a whole channel.
* Importing videos from your desktop
The most convenient way to add new videos to PeerTube is if you have the *syncthing* app installed. Set up [[./app_syncthing.html][syncthing]] with a folder called ~/Sync in your home directory. Create a subdirectory called *~/Sync/peertube_upload*. Within that directory make a text file called *login.txt*. This will contain your PeerTube login details.
