Plugin to hide the IP exposure warning

PeerTube
1

Background

I’m interested in a plugin to hide or disable the warning about IP exposure that appears on every video.

Rationale

One of my users has an older viewerbase, and he told me that the warning is scaring his subscribers. They think their computers are being hacked.

I think PeerTube does a good enough job protecting privacy without the obtrusive warning. Most of my users who care about privacy are already using VPNs.

Questions

  1. Does anyone else feel similarly?

  2. Could some kind person give me a clue or point me in the right direction? The plugin section of the documentation is confusing to me (at my current experience level).

Hi,

You don’t want to disable P2P on your instance?

Correct. I’d like to keep P2P enabled but disable the conspicuous warning. If that’s legal/ethical.

I’m really only concerned about the one in embedded videos, as shown in the screenshot. The about/peertube#privacy page will remain.

Simply changing the language or choice of words may be enough.

Edit:

If I don’t have your blessing because you’re not comfortable with this idea: I understand and will tell them to read the about/peertube#privacy page instead of going through with it.

I get your concern. Try checking PeerTube’s forums or GitHub for plugins or solutions. You might also ask the community for help with a custom fix. Good luck!

Thanks for chiming in, @abuislam!

Hold up. I thought this was PeerTube’s forums.

I’m comfortable using the Custom CSS on /admin/config/edit-custom#advanced-configuration, but does that work with embedded elements?
