more video marketing notes

What follows goes with this and this:

  • YouTube has been doing live streaming for a year.
  • From a description for a video clip at YouTube, one may share a video clip with a Google Hangout. (I do not understand Google Hangouts presently.)
  • YouTube has online video editing software.
  • Jeremy suggests crowd sourcing video in that if you need footage of an elephant you may verify likely be able to contact someone in India all too happy to film an elephant for you.
  • Captions are words that appear midstream in a video clip. Use captions for SEO, compliance, and accessibility. speakertext.com is a good service to use for captions. The rate there is $2 per minute of video. The service will transcribe audio to captions??? I am guessing. I do not really know. The WordPress plugin called CaptionBox (by speakertext.com) highlights transcription copy near a video clip progressively as the audio in the video clip rattles off.
  • An iFrame gives no SEO value to a page.
  • Do not use YouTube presently for captions and transcription as their system is currently weak.

 
 

Addendum 12/7/2018: Wikipedia suggests: "Google Hangouts is a communication platform developed by Google which includes messaging, video chat, SMS and VOIP"
