Sharing videos

Hi all,
It's getting close to the deadline (Fri, Nov 17th) for submitting the private lesson and group warm-up videos.  There are a number of potions for doing this.  You can share the video via a file sharing service such as Dropbox, One Drive, Google Drive, or something similar, or you can upload it to YouTube or some other video archiving site.

1.  File sharing - Search the web for the easiest way for you, based on your situation, to share the file and send me a link, or allow access to the folder where you have stored the video.  The process is relatively easy.

Here is a link to a site that expalains the difference between a few services - http://thevideoanalyst.com/5-ways-to-share-video-for-free/

Here is a link from Dropbox that offers details on how to share videos - https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/share-file-or-folder

2.  If you choose to upload to YouTube or some other video archiving service please make sure to set the video as either "private" or "unlisted".  If you opt for private you will need to provide access, generally, by listing the email addresses of those who will have permission to view the file.  If you opt for "unlisted" you will need to provide the link as the video will not be able to be found via a google search.  The only thing with this method is it can take a very long time for videos to complete the uploading process.

I hope this helps.

Best,
Andy
