Using YouTube for business training videos


Using YouTube for business training videos. To start out, we really need to know what YouTube is. That way you will know if using YouTube for your business training videos is right for you.

What is YouTube?


YouTube is a video-sharing program that allows users to upload their videos. People who are connected to the Internet can then access those videos. The main requirement for uploading videos is being registered. That registration process is really very painless.

Who can view YouTube?

Viewers of all sorts can access the videos on the site, in most cases even in they are not registered. So, using the YouTube for multiple viewers would be a very good idea. The entire process is easy for uploading, and for viewing.

How private is YouTube?

For privacy of your YouTube video, you simply need to create a list of viewers of that video. Then only those viewers will be allowed to view. That is one of the best things about YouTube. There was a small kink in that plan a few months back. There was a problem where a program was interfering with this privacy. However the YouTube team quickly resolved that. So though there is no guarantee that someone would not be able to view your trade secrets in your training. It is unlikely that they would.

What format is used to view YouTube?

YouTube uses the Macromedia Flash Player 7. It also uses the Sorenson Park H263 video codec. However, this is not something you have to go searching for. The startup process for viewing is very simple.Therefore you do not need a tech savvy person to set you up. The training would be easily accessible with a personal computer, web browser and Internet connection.

Using YouTube for the business training your company would need to provide is a good idea. This is because no matter where your employees are, if they can access the Internet they can access your training.

What freedom will you get?

Also, there is freedom of being able to create a video for several locations to be able to view in the same conference call. That is something that was limited in the past. Usually sending paper, DVD or CD or files via email did this. All of these options took longer and were subject to issues.

Once your team is set up to view YouTube there are very few difficulties that would arise for the viewing of continuous videos. You can set up series of videos to run on YouTube. Thus making it easier for the training to be done at separate times also.

Limitations, what are they?

There are a few copyright limitations that are set up. There are also some limitations to protect people with YouTube as to what can be uploaded. Those limitations would be:

1. You cannot upload something that is copy written by another source.
2. You are not able to upload pornography, animal abuse videos, severe violence etc. Basically there is protection from viewers seeing potentially offensive videos. Thus it also protects your employees and their families from being accidentally exposed to things that are offensive.
3. They do not want spamming to be part of the YouTube atmosphere. Thus, this is also a limited action.

However other than this, there are many freedoms that are available for your business training through YouTube. You can read the terms of service when you set up your free or very low cost accountThis will then give you a better idea of what you can work with.
