Embedded Files
Now you've recorded a video, but it won't be much use unless you can share it with others.
To do that, you need to host the video; that is, to store it somewhere where it's accessible online.
Many types of recording software, including those recommended in this guide, incorporate hosting into what they offer. So, when you record a video, it may not be saved to your computer. Instead, it is immediately uploaded to remote servers where other people can access it.
There are tradeoffs with this approach. If you wanted to do significant editing on a video you recorded, it would be better to save it to your own computer so it could be imported into editing software.
Most beginners, however, have enough to worry about without learning complex editing techniques, and so the convenience of automatically uploading your recordings can be helpful.
Many of the platforms we'll discuss here mirror those from the Recording Software section for this reason: when you record, your video is also hosted as part of the process.
But we'll also look at two platforms--NYU Stream and YouTube--where you can also upload pre-existing videos.
Learn about some important concepts pertaining to hosting, like the difference between file and video hosting, managing permissions, and meeting accessiblity requirements.
