5. On WordPress.tv there are videos from
various WordCamps in the world, and even
the Meetups and other WP related events,
in addition to the tutorials on WordPress.
16. The raw video footage, or already post-
produced, is loaded on an Amazon S3.
This space is provided by Automattic, and
to have access you need to ask about it in
Making WordPress #wptv Slack channel.
17. To have access to this resource and upload videos, ask about it in #wptv Slack channel.
18. The links to video files to be edited or to be
uploaded on WordPress.tv are placed in a
shared spreadsheet, in the respective
WordCamp tabs, and the contributors
can self-assign videos to work on.

WordPress.tv from the dedicated page,
or directly from WordPress.tv backend,
by contributors who have access.
22. After uploading to WordPress.tv, before
being published, videos are moderated by
the team. We control the audio and video
quality, the brightness, the presence of
advertising and we complete metadata.

uploaded videos have grown by 881,88%.
