I’m trying to create an app using the peertube API on a self holsted peertube instance for a K-12 school district. I have a question about the “password protected” (5) privacy policy that is available for videos.
It would appear that if a video is password protected, then it is also unlisted. This creates a “double” barrier for entry on password protected videos. A user has to have the direct URL to the video, and the password.
For my use case of a K-12 school district, it would be highly valuable for password protected videos to be “discoverable” without also needing the direct URL. Teachers want to password protect a video for just their class to watch, but when they do so, the students can no longer find the video.
It just seems redundant to me that password protected == unlisted.
