Right now this is how the video picker works:
*A video that is thought to be related to the topic is added
*Someone useing the video picker watches 30 sec+ and decides if it should stay or not
*It goes into the Quality Gaurdian if aproved
*Someone else decides if it is published
What if insead of the first video picker, you got to search youtube your self. You could still have the option to use that version. This causes the videos to be more related.to the topic and not getting stuck on just one. Think of it, in school you are always told to not just look at the first source and looking ot the first source is exactly what video picker is doing. Let me know your thoughts below.
I’m not sure this is a great idea - I could see a lot of people abusing this to plug their own YouTube videos, and it’d be much harder for us to notice it. Users can manually add videos via Embed Video on an article page, so if you have a specific video in mind, you can always add it directly
It would still have to go through Quality Gaurdian so that would reduce the chances of that happening and I didn’t realize you could do that.
I have used the Embedding Video option on pages and that works basically how you described. It has helped me find some good specific videos from helpful channels.
OK, thanks for all of your help, I am new so I don;t know all of the ins and outs.
