Hi Robert, So the news is not good (at least in my opinion). Of course you can continue doing the videos but it seems like because you can't speak in 200 languages we can't link it in the help files. Having English only would interfere with locale teams (I'm still unclear how but I'm no expert there and one of the experts has guaranteed me that such a link would have dire affects on the community).
So what you could do is just create a youtube channel and post the videos...obviously visibility would be substantially less but, that's where we are. You could then create a wiki somewhere useful that links to your videos. Wish I had better news - I'm still looking into the possibilities but right now there seems to be a big blocker in getting such a cool addition to the product.
