Hello, all, While we have plenty of "modern" video out on YouTube, we currently host most our historic and collections-item videos (e.g. oral history video clips) on a private streaming platform. We don't use much of the functionality provided by the private platform, so the question has come up whether YouTube would meet our needs as a player.
Some questions/potential concerns that have passed through my head: 1. Are there potentially different copyright implications to private hosting than to YouTube? What if we made the YouTube videos unlisted so we were simply using it as a player? 2. Has anyone had (or is/was concerned about having) historic video challenged or taken down as in violation of YouTube's community standards? Can anyone weigh in on these? And are there other issues to contemplate that I am missing? If the people at your institution who would make such decisions are not on the MCN listserv, I'd love it if you'd pass this along to them-I will take any and all input, on- or off-list. If you've chosen to use a private streaming service in addition to or instead of YouTube, I'd be interested to know what additional value you think it brings. Thanks! ................................................. Gain Perspective. Get Inspired. Make History.
