Video Hosting YouTube-Like Setup For TI -- Thoughts?

[Myrm]

Hey everyone.

I know that I did away with the Video forum on this site, but that was because I had a different idea on how it should work.

I have found a piece of software that quite literally creates a youtube for your vBulletin community. People can upload their videos then other users can comment on the videos, like/dislike them, rate them, and much more!

If you think that implementing this software would be good for TI, please vote accordingly on the poll above.

Thanks and I hope that you all like this idea so that we can get implemented on TI!

How would you moderate copyrighted content (such as background music)?

And can I link my youtube account with it.
Or would I need to upload it separately.

Does Youtube moderate copyrighted content?

I cannot see this being so big that we need to worry about that personally.

You can link Youtube videos directly and people can comment/rate them on here instead of on Youtube.

They have some system in place that scans the video whilst it's processing, to auto-detect most copyrighted content. If anything is found, then the authors of it can choose to block the video or have ads shown in/next to it to earn themselves a bit of money instead.

But yeh, it's very unlikely you'd get any complaints/problems regarding copyright on here. Just thought it was something to bare in mind though

Would there be some sort of "video gallery" to showcase the uploaded videos? And if so, could you also allow users to submit Youtube videos to that gallery?

I can't think of a good reason to have it personally. Seems that the current set-up is working just fine.

 

[Nickolas]

Do it if I can just link it.

I think it's a great idea if people will utilize it. I myself am not into making videos but I know many of the community members here are and were upset by the removal of the video section. Something should be done to implement a system for them since the posts about videos eventually get lost among many other posts in their sections, and this seems like a solid idea to try out.

should this take effect, expect to find regular updates from That 19's Show.

Um, yes, youtube does monitor for copy right, however thats only because of Vevo, I don't think it will be an issue here on TI, but i suggest you be careful, masked. However I am fully in favor of a TI youtube.
