Strategies for Sharing Large Videos:

Compress the video using free software such as Windows Live Movie Maker, iMovie, Handbrake, etc.
Try to record the video at lower quality (if possible).
Use a video editor to split the video into shorter clips, and create separate videos for lecture, discussion, etc.
Share videos as zip files.
If uploading to YouTube, set the video to “private,” and make it available only to those with a link.
Upload the video to Google Drive and share the link or video folder with students.
