# WordPress.tv vs YouTube – Brainstorming 1

Hi WordPress.tv fans,

Last year the discussion around YouTube and willingness to include YouTube into 
our current process for bringing videos to the WordPress World has increased, so
the time has come to get some ideas together and find a way to embrace new ways 
of sharing and viewing videos, and collaborating on e.g. subtitles in different 
ways.

Let’s have a first zoom meeting so I can explain what is currently happening in 
YouTube, how videos get on https://youtube.com/wordpress at this moment (divided
into [playlists](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpJf6LGZ0a4n9Lj4aVt9spg/playlists))
and why we should not just ‘switch completely to YouTube’.

If you have ideas, have experience in other projects related to this or even just
want to listen, please indicate your preference on [this doodle](https://doodle.com/poll/ecsyp87v4d8thy6u)
so we can schedule our first YouTube brainstorming.

The link to zoom will be given on the slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group 
Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/). The WordPress community 
has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)
[#wptv](https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/wptv/) channel some time before the
start.

_Notice/disclaimer: I will record the meeting, but only for the purpose of my personal
notes that I want to create at the end._

**Please indicate your preference in doodle before Tue 11-Feb 09:00 AM Central European
Time.**

Hope to see you all!

Pascal.

 3. Hello Pascal,
     That’s good idea. My suggestion would be that the same form that
    we have in WordPress.TV, adapt to upload the same videos to Youtube Channel. Even
    have two files: one compressed and one uncompressed. The compressed would upload
    to WordPress.TV and the uncompressed would be uploaded to the Channel.
 4. Because this form is the way to submit videos, that would be the best idea in order
    to not confuse our contributors.
 5. Thanks!

     * And then, we could have same Editors in Youtube Channel in order to publish 
       them…
