Google Video is a free video sharing website and also a video search engine from Google. Google Video allows select videos to be remotely embedded on other websites and provides the necessary HTML code alongside the media, similar to YouTube. This allows for websites to host large amounts of video remotely on Google Video without running into bandwidth or storage capacity issues. On October 9, 2006 Google bought former competitor YouTube.
In 2009, Google posted that they are no longer offering uploads to Google Video. Google wants to focus their mission on search and search technology. This will allow Google Video to spend more time on technologies that make the information contained in online video more available and accessible, enabling users to search all kinds of videos across the web. Although you can no longer upload videos to Google Video, you can still upload videos to Picasa and YouTube.
This change does not apply to Google Video for business. Google Video for business is part of Google Apps Premier Edition, and it lets employees share video content with each other, like team updates and recordings of training sessions and guest speakers. Business users can continue to upload and share videos, and the service is actively being developed.

I did not know that Google Video was still up and running for business. I thought it had all gone to YouTube. Thanks for the info. Tell me, can I use it with the company blog? :o)
ReplyDeleteGood evening LLL0874 google video would really be an asset to our agency, especially with so many areas to cover. Must bring it up in the next improvement meeting.
ReplyDeleteI think most people forgot about Google Video and this blog will help spread the word.
