Peertube's Channel sync feature imports videos from a YouTube channel/playlist to your PeerTube channel automatically. Sync checks hourly; initial full import of large channels can take hours but additional syncs are usually fast.

  1. Go to Channels > Synchronizations > Add synchronization.

  2. Fill form:

    • Remote channel URL: Paste public YouTube channel URL (or playlist URL). Get from under video title.
    • Video channel: Select your target PeerTube channel.
    • Options for existing videos: Choose "Import all existing" for full backfill, or "Watch for new only".
  3. Click Create.

After Setup:

  • Wait a few hours for initial sync (downloads/encodes videos).
  • New videos import hourly.
  • Monitor list in Synchronizations.

Manage:

  • Update: Delete and recreate sync (use "Watch for new" to avoid re-import).
  • Delete: In list, click button > Delete.

Admin Prerequisites

(Already done on peertube.gravitywell.xyz ) :

In Settings > Configuration > Basic > Videos:

  • Enable "Allow import with HTTP URL (e.g. YouTube)"
  • Enable "Allow channel synchronization with other platforms"

For more details see the official peertube docs
