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.

Watching videos

The simplest way to watch videos is to just visit our VHP4Safety channel at https://video.edu.nl/a/vhp4safety/videos.

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:
