Usually it shows around 1-2 peers on the player when I watch videos on PeerTube. I just watched a video that had up to 20 peers.

Here are the stats

Total downloaded: 1.5 GB
* From servers: 149 MB
* From peers: 1.3 GB
Total uploaded: 618 MB

I left the video open while writing this text an now I uploaded a total of 1.0 GB.

Nice to see PeerTube in action in a real peer to peer way.

    I’ve never seen any stats while watching on a browser or the iOS app. Where did you get those numbers?

      On a browser the stats are hidden behind the text “1 peer” on the bottom right of the player, next to the volume icon. When you hover over “1 peer” the stats will appear.

      Haven’t seen this in the android app either.

        Oh that’s true. When I watch something from the featured channels (i.e. something everyone else cares about, but I have zero interest in), there’s an upload download counter etc. However, when I watch something that I actually want to click, I see none of that.
