Internal YouTube

Has anyone got an internal YouTube-like service within their organisation or have experience of setting one up? I'm looking into this as a knowledge management solution and want to learn which approaches organisation have taken and what works.

Thanks

Rob

I also see the demo of this

I also see the demo of this and I'm pretty sure that this is a good application. Asigurare locuinta

It's not for user-generated,

It's not for user-generated, but we created a service for LSIS and their Excellence Gateway:

It's getting a major overhaul at the moment and should change in about three weeks time to a much more modern interface, which can temporarily be seen on our own site:

http://www.healthymedia.co.uk/egtv/

It works with WMPlayer and Flash, as the teaching audience that we work with has around 8% of people still on Flash versions lower than 8. They're also around 3% Mac based. We also found that we needed to use WMP to properly support accessibility features, which are essential these days.

It's fairly easy to take what we've built and integrate it with most CMSs, but I would be very wary of video UGC and the problems of abuse and copyright that come with it. You can create an upload form in the CMS, but I wouldn't let anything go live on a corporate site without it passing through some sort of editorial process first. YouTube employs lots of people and technology to try and keep themselves out of court.

Let is all know what you decide to do and how you get on.

Cheers,

David

Thanks Scott, very

Thanks Scott, very useful.

Good meeting you at the eLN event too.

Hi Rob, not sure if this is

Hi Rob,

not sure if this is going to help but take a look at teacher tube. It has been a real success in the teaching community.

I'm also a member of wired teachers and they use ning for their social network. It has a decent video upload section available that might be of interest.

you get the you tube api and add it to your own site?

I also worked on this site and we ended up creating our own video channel - http://future.ncsl.org.uk/VideoList.aspx

I've looked at 3 different ways of doing it, final delivery always depends on client requirements - ning, you tube api, bespoke

hope this helps in some way.
