This month we are finishing our migration of about 300 users from Exchange to Google Apps. We are very happy with the move.
We were excited about the possibilities of Google Video for Google Apps and were initially very disappointed at the pricing structure. As a non-profit that was out of our reach. However, these kinds of on-going, value-add changes to the Google Apps platform make me even more thrilled with the decision.
If I read this correctly, I am really glad that the folks at Google got this right. My high school could never justify per user fees so that we could use this for a few videos.
Thanks very much! This should prove useful. I have just enabled Video and played with it. The captioning supports unicode and English, Chinese and Japanese characters can all be displayed simultaneously (E.g. "My question also is...日本語もできるんですか"), so this function could be used to provide translations and potentially language study material. However, I did notice that playback was choppy when the unicode captions popped up. Also, I uploaded a 20MB video and it is still in "processing" a good while after the 3 minutes suggested by the system (about half an hour to an hour so far).
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhen did you plan to release the Google Video for education service in more country (like Africa)) ?? :o)
Will these videos be viewable by the public or is it still restricted to domain users only?

Way to go Google!
Woo-hoo! Thanks so much for this!
ReplyDeleteNow if we could only find the password to our domain registration...
ReplyDeleteWill we have the ability to add additional space? 10GB could disappear quickly if we had 30 faculty each upload one video.
