Upload Videos

Hello, can users upload videos, not just embeds or links from youtube or wistia?

Aaron Liang

Currently no, but I believe the feature is coming

Aaron LiangΒ any news concerning this feature?

Sascha Leem

I think it would be better not to allow uploading videos by default, although an option to do so would be nice.

Video hosting consumes lots of space on the webspace of the site owner, and most webservers are not optimized for this as well. Depending on the server configure and in most cases (shared or small VPS with low-mid IO/EP/NPROC), as soon as 3 or more members watch a video simultaneously, it's often dragging down the whole sites' performance.

I'd love to see an integration with "alugha", the best video hosting service from Germany.

Rosvaldas NudasΒ Yes true - Bunny rules, but in this case alugha is german based company and might be preffered in Germany due to their specific law restrictions (strict privacy - German Federal Data Protection Act aka BDSG etc).

Bunny has datacenter in Germany but it might not be the case (it's hard to say without knowing some details)

If you’ve spent any time with Germans, you may have noticed. Most will use pseudonyms for social media profiles, making them undiscoverable on sites like Facebook that others use for the very purpose of finding long-lost friends.

Germans are much more aware of how targeted advertising works. They also manage passwords better to protect themselves from leaks, breaches, and other data threats.

The German Data Privacy Policy, commonly referred to as Datenschutz in German, is a comprehensive legal framework that governs the handling of personal data. It includes regulations and guidelines aimed at safeguarding individuals' privacy rights, outlining how organizations must collect, process, and store personal information. The policy is characterized by stringent requirements and imposes obligations on both public and private entities to ensure data protection.

Rosvaldas NudasΒ got it!

I dont live there but I like some of their approaches to data privacy so I fully understand why some admins prefer their own way - of course for many other countries it might be hard to understand why they do it. It all depends. I am not saying what is right or better approach here.
