VHP4Safety videos on SURF’s PeerTube instance

PeerTube is open source software for sharing videos, like project introductions, webinars, and demos, and screenshots explaining how to use software. The Dutch SURF overs an PeerTube instance for use by Dutch higher education. VHP4Safety uses this platform to share videos. This document describes how you can watch these videos, but also how you can receive alerts when new videos show up.

Subscribing to the VHP4Safety videos

If you like to get alerted about new videos on our PeerTube channel, there are two options.

Following via the fediverse

If you have a fediverse account, e.g. Mastodon account via SURF’s social.edu.nl platform, then you can just subscribe via the Subscribe button below the video and select Subscribe with your local account:

Maybe easier, however, is to just follow directly from your fediverse client software, search for VHP4Safety profiles, and select the @vhp4safety@video.edu.nl account. In both cases, the next time our project posts a video, you get a message via the fediverse.

Following via a podcast or RSS feed

If you prefer to have the videos show up in your podcast application or in your newsfeed application (for example Feedly), then the PeerTube software provide two feeds:
