There should be a W3C WAI examples youtube account for these - there is a WAI youtube channel but that seems to be all marketing. Perhaps there is already a utility channel available?

They should be managed, in the understanding doc though there is a video which is partially hidden. Given the content of the understanding doc, that is... ironic. It's a simple fix from a CSS point of view, but need to track down the best place to make it.

For CSS, I think it should be in https://github.com/w3c/wcag/blob/master/understanding/understanding.css.

On the whole I think videos should be stored in the repo, it's only the first time that it's a big download. Storing outside the repo risks linkrot. I would either decide vieeos are "images" and put it in the "img" directory of Understanding, or create a "video" directory in Understanding.

That one example is actually two files, mp4 & ogv to get browser coverage. They are about 9-10MB each, so 20MB just for the one video, and we'd like to include more. That multiplies up real quick.

Is there not a more suitable place for video content? Where does @yatil and the EO folk put them? It looks like youtube, which might be overkill, but better than putting it in git.

@alastc We currently use youtube and serve it through an instance of Able Player, see https://www.w3.org/WAI/perspective-videos/keyboard/

We need to check with @slhenry to see if we want to have a separate account for this.

I've pinged Shawn, will see if there are any general options.

I've created a separate YouTube channel to house the videos for Understanding WCAG.

/me interested that AWK considers the main WAI YouTube channel videos as "marketing", rather than introducing web accessibility, WCAG, etc.; advocating for web accessibility; and educating on benefits of web accessibility. )

Thanks Shawn,

@yatil I can see the instructions on the Able player site, presumably we can reference the same script sources as you do, is there anything else we need to worry about?

If you live in the corporate world, anything trying to get to new audiences is 'marketing', we aren't used to the concept of outreach/education ;-)

@alastc Yes, this should work, but we keep updating the able player source occasionally, so stuff might break accidentally when you refer to our copy (I don’t think that that will happen, however, it seems pretty stable.)

This issue looks as if it's resolved. The video resizes as it should do and I'm going to assume that @alastc is okay with the hosting arrangement.
