YouTube channel

If we plan to record our academically-inclined events, we may want to consider a YouTube channel.
This would let us relocate the video from #63, and we would need to update that link.
@ayaankazerouni @franceme Thoughts?
For academically-inclined events I think it'd be fine, as long as the expectation is set for the recording (*audience).
Though a minor issue, there'd be an inconsistency between the academic events videos and other events such as #54 (the industry jobs event).
We can just upload the video of the industry jobs event. Unless we lock it to vt email addresses, we need to make sure it's ok with the panelists beforehand.
I think we would want to lock to VT email addresses by default. I don't see consent issues if we do that.
I've only uploaded a few videos to Youtube awhile ago, but is there a way to set a Youtube video to a specific email account type?
I realize it can be shared via link only but a corner case of someone sharing the url would bypass that.
If that's possible I don't see a problem.
Actually it looks like YouTube's only content restriction options are:
- Private (share with individual emails only)
- Public
unless you have a fancy account with Google.
HOWEVER: If we put the video on our website (as in #63), how is that different from putting it on YouTube?
The only reason to keep the videos hosted via the Google Drive is to ensure only VT students can watch it.
A more public video such as #63 (assuming the participants agree) would be fine to host on YouTube.
My only hesitation is the two different locations of hosting videos.
Ah, right, the video is hosted on Drive (where we have more fine-grained access control) and not directly on the CS@VT hosting. My bad.
I conclude that keeping the videos on the Drive is a good approach.
