Id love to be able to have a video room where I can record and save videos instead of having to upload them in links from youtube

Maybe the problem implementing this is space required to host unlimited videos. Consider Murtaza Bambot to allow us to connect to our Amazon or Google storage so you don't carry the burden on your servers. I would LOVE every day to jump into my HB portal and record a quick video to my tribe and I'm betting they would find high value and more engagement in that. This could be a powerful feature to differentiate you from the other well known platforms?

Ed Ferrigan: thanks for jumping in here :) Unfortunately, the expensive part with video hosting isn't the actual storage. It's the video streaming — the tech that efficiently loads pieces of the video on your device without loading the entire thing.
There are tools like Mux (mux.com) that we've looking at using to manage this, but with hundreds of thousands of users, it's going to be pretty expensive to just roll out instantly. It's also technically pretty complex, so will take time to roll out.
It's something I'm hoping we can knock out this year bc we know just
how
important video is to most communities on Heartbeat. Unfortunately, don't have an exact timeline for you, but will update here when we do!Ed Ferrigan
Murtaza Bambot: Didn't know that. Thanks for the insight! Baby steps to get to the goal!
