My request is that we go to the effort of using the resource, and stop defaulting to youtube.
I don’t recommend youtube links.
Things like “Shielded Dialogues” and “Zcash Walkthroughs” ought to at least be optionally available on @skyl 's:

there was a filesize limit afaik. so longer videos not always possible atm.
Maybe we should pay for longer videos with ZEC?

I was about to approve this, but then I don’t think it supports RSS?
If it doesn’t support RSS it makes it very unpractical to get notified of new videos using one’s RSS tool of choice.

Would be a nice update!
sudo apt install gnome-feeds
ZecHub
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC3-KM00kjCUheRzO5cq3PAA
If the videos were posted as zpages, or converse posts, then they go to RSS feeds for the particular user, eg:

Zechub’s is not working?
I really want for what we offer to be accessible to non-nerds, unlike ourselves.
Accessing these feeds is straightforward. Users can simply append the relevant path to the Free2Z base URL. For instance, to access the AI Insights feed for a user ‘john_doe’, the URL would be
https://free2z.com/feeds/john_doe/ai/recent.xml.
That’s nerdy. I can just add https://www.youtube.com/@shieldedlabs to my RSS reader and that’s it. Any way it could work the same? Are you maybe just missing the equivalent of this?
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC1CZ8RAMnEM46WpQbOumDrg">
I think that adding a video post type would help, with a custom video player. Bandwidth wise, CloudFlare R2 works well for video hosting and supports 4K. The main cost would be for video encoding compute, or for a user to upload a set of pre-encoded HLS files for each playlist. The moment you use a third party cloud host/CDN for video hosting and encoding, costs skyrocket.
Should be trivial to port the search API with a video filter to a video RSS feed. I can open-source a local video encoding pipeline together with URL signed playlist endpoints that work with auth (can have anonymous auth pending bandwidth cost also).
I like the idea of experimenting with paying for or sponsoring video bandwidth with ZEC, maybe via an IPFS HTTP gateway.

Awesome, what is the process for videos to be uploaded to the account. We need an easy way for everyone to contribute.

We should post a video tutorial demonstrating the process!
