I am looking for a suitable video platform - apart from Youtube - that other academics use to share and show your own videos (from conferences etc.). Thanks for your suggestions.
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I will certainly check PeerTube and Twillo as options.
But a real opencast infrastructure for academic videos is still missing.
@dbellingradt Vimeo comes to mind
@dbellingradt I think that's a tricky one. I'd like to move stuff off YT but the lack of integrations or lower available space on other services hasn't led to me finding any good options yet.
@dbellingradt Humboldt University hosts Opencast - but only for registered members :(
https://opencast.org/
@dbellingradt @ElenLeFoll I just thought of a possible solution:
1) Use https://twillo.de (very easy as long as your institution uses DFN-AAI)
2) Create H5P-Content: https://www.twillo.de/oer/web/faq/#accordion_accordion_nr-2_item_15
3) Choose Content-Type 'Interactive Video' and upload your file
https://h5p.org/interactive-video
4) Decide if you want to use interactive features or not :) - this step can be a bit annoying...
5) Publish and share!

Caveat: a) only 500 MB storage, b) platform is for #OER, not recordings
@dbellingradt @ElenLeFoll but we need a general Opencast-infrastructure, independent from/of any one institution...
Pinging @nfdi4culture @NFDI4Memory could that be a project for one of the NFDI-consortia, or for the whole NFDI?
@dbellingradt Just curious: what is wrong with youtube? I find it OK for posting videos.
@dbellingradt have you tried if L.I.S.A. Portal of the Gerda Henkel Foundation (did not find them on mastodon at this minute, hints welcome) would be ready to host your content? I have had good experiences with them. https://lisa.gerda-henkel-stiftung.de/
@dbellingradt We used ClickView https://www.clickvieweducation.com/ on an EU project recently. I'm afraid I don't know much about it as our UK partner was responsible for this (chose the platform & added the videos produced on the project).
@dbellingradt I would say Vimeo as well… first thing that pops up in mind…
@dbellingradt …but what’s wrong with YouTube? Except from the fact that it’s from Google and that there is some censoring.
@dbellingradt #PeerTube comes to mind, have a look at FairTube's (@peertube ) generalist streaming instance, which can be used for free up to a certain data upload limit (I believe it was 2GB?) ...
We've used it to make video recordings of our Experimental Publishing and Scaling Small / @copim end-of-project conferences available online w/o needing to rely on the big commercial players such as YT and Vimeo, see e.g. https://fair.tube/c/scaling_small_conference_2023/videos
If the content is somehow related to technology: @tibhannover's AV Portal maybe?
@dbellingradt What do you mean by "real"? Programs like PeerTube are unreal?
