We are happy to announce Opencast Explore, our new central video hub for all video content related directly to Opencast! This includes conference recordings, webinars, promotional videos, and more. Previously, most of these were graciously hosted by the ETH Zürich in its video portal.

We decided to move all content to a central, community-controlled location without unrelated videos. This not only prevents questions about where to find recordings or webinars, it also allows you to use the search to make it easier to find exactly what you are looking for.

We already have many test instances that function as playgrounds where everyone has full access, but Opencast Explore serves a different purpose: It is a pretty showcase of the two pieces of software powering it, namely Opencast and Tobira. Therefore OC Explore is completely read-only to the public and only a handful of people will actively add & modify content. This also means the Opencast connected to this Tobira is not accessible.

Management of Opencast Explore will mainly be done by elan e.V., with the server being provided by the University of Osnabrück.
