InternetNow Showing in Google Apps: Video
But is the enterprise ready for 'YouTube for business'?
SAN FRANCISCO - Google has released a major new addition to its Google Apps Premier Edition suite of applications, Google Video. The new application, which is designed to help business customers collaborate by sharing videos, is now part of the $50 per user, per year Google suite. Current customers get Google Video as a free addition. As with other applications in the suite, such as Docs and Spreadsheet, the creator of a document - or video - can decide whether to freely distribute it to colleague(s), or put restrictions on who can view or edit it. For the viewer, the interface includes a scene picker window on the bottom to make it easier to jump to different parts of a video. Leveraging the same simplicity that made its YouTube video site so popular, Google is easy to operate. You can, for example, click "browse" to find a video and "upload" to share it. The videos can be viewed from standard Web browsers including Apple's Safari on the iPhone. Users can add ratings and tags and download videos for viewing offline or on a portable computer or mobile device if the creator or administrator of the video allows that.
