Help for Google Hangouts, YouTube Channel management and social media tips will be here.

Guidelines and standards for YouTube
In order to achieve an acceptable level of quality and consitence trought the videos upload on the channel, each uploaded videos must meet theses requirements :


 * Comply with YouTube Copyright regulations http://youtube.com/yt/copyright/what-is-copyright.html
 * Fun introduction https://www.youtube.com/copyright_school
 * Basically, do not upload any content or partial content that are from another source, that includes music, TV show captures, clips from movies/TV.
 * If we get Copyright strikes, after 3 we are out and will be ban from YouTube. We are at one strike before the writing of the current requirements and lost some advantages of our partnership with Google. Current resolution of status is due April 2013.
 * Deleting an infringement strike trigger (it's automated) videos won't help removing the strike.
 * Respect basic quality standards for uploaded videos.
 * 720p minimum, upload in 1080p Full HD if available (YouTube will create lesser resolutions versions automatically)
 * Use recommended YouTube mp4/aac/H.264 encoding if possible (no conversion will be done, upload will be faster) https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en&ref_topic=2888648
 * Use recommended 16:9 ratio if possible
 * Slides must be readable in 480p (for mobile usage and default web view).
 * Sound must be clear and with no electronic noise or with minimal white noise.
 * Google Hangout are relaxed from theses quality standards as long as the slides are full screen and we can hear fine the speaker.
 * Editing must be professional level or very minimal with YouTube tools or absent.
 * Upload videos only with consent from the source even if it's OWASP (like a chapter or a conference).
 * For meta data information:
 * Put the subject and the speaker name in the title
 * If the subject is too long, the speaker name can be omitted
 * Link to the source on owasp.org Wiki and then any links you want
 * Put the abstract if available and speaker BIO in the description
 * Leave the OWASP Media Project signature
 * Use the default tags (currently #owasp and #appsec) and optionally add some if desired
 * If videos are from a logical batch, associate it with a playlist (Example: AppSecEU2013 playlist)

Prerequisites

 * Have a Google account, preferably an @owasp.org one, that is added as a manager of OWASPGLOBAL YouTube channel
 * If you plan to upload content regularly, you must be subscribed to our OWASP Media Project mailing list
 * Read the "Guidelines and standards for YouTube" especially about copyright

Warnings

 * Use another browser or profile than your normal browser in order to upload to YouTube. If you browse YouTube as "OWASP", all history, likes and favorites will be shared with the channel.
 * Take special care of your account because it is now having all access to a front-facing OWASP asset

Procedure

 * Login as OWASP on YouTube (TODO insert screen shots)
 * As OWASP, Create a playlist with the name of your contribution
 * For a conference, use the full name and the year
 * Examples: AppSecUSA 2014, Projects Submit 2014, OWASP Global Chapter Meetings, https://www.youtube.com/view_all_playlists
 * Upload the video using https://www.youtube.com/upload
 * In Privacy settings on the right, make it "Unlisted" or "Private" if you don't want it to be shown right away
 * As it upload and process, set the correct title and description (please leave the Media Project signature)
 * Add tags related to the subject or the contribution. These are like keywords.
 * You can use the Video Manager in order to tag many videos at once
 * Save and wait until it is completely uploaded
 * View the video and add it to your playlist
 * Change the Privacy settings if it was Private or Unlisted
 * Review title and description
 * Share the video as you wish on Twitter, Facebook, etc.
 * Use embed code to share it in HTML
 * Use wiki code #ev:youtube|VIDEO-ID or #ev:youtubeplaylist|PLAYLIST-ID between –  for owasp.org wiki

YouTube + Hangout streaming procedure
You must already be familiar with Google Hangout On Air to follow these steps. https://support.google.com/plus/answer/2553119?hl=en

Prerequisites

 * Have a Google account, preferably an @owasp.org Google Apps.
 * Ask to be a a manager of [OWASP Google+ Page https://plus.google.com/114897759028714798478/posts] (includes OWASPGLOBAL YouTube channel management access)
 * If you plan to broadcast content regularly, you must be subscribed to our OWASP Media Project mailing list
 * Read the "Guidelines and standards for YouTube" especially about copyright

Warnings

 * Use another browser or profile than your normal browser in order to upload to YouTube. If you browse YouTube as "OWASP", all history, likes and favorites will be shared with the channel.
 * Take special care of your account because it is now having all access to a front-facing OWASP asset

Procedure

 * Login to Google+ and then switch to "OWASP Google+ Page" account
 * Access the Hangout section of Google+ as "OWASP" https://plus.google.com/b/114897759028714798478/hangouts
 * Start a "Hangout on Air" with the right title and description (will be the same on YouTube)
 * You can schedule it for later in order to gather the required links in advance for attendees and viewers, see [[Media:Mediaproject-screencap1.png]]
 * The Audience is really for the viewers and not the same as participants in the Hangout
 * You will be next redirected to the Event Page on Google+
 * In the event page of Google+, you can click on "Start" button to lunch the Hangout interface, see [[Media:Mediaproject-screencap5.png]]
 * If it's a scheduled event, you can still click to see the interface, but don't click on "Start broadcast" until you are ready to be live
 * You can also enable Q&A app and add a trailer to it, but this will have no effect on YouTube, it's just for Google+ so keep that in mind.
 * Once in the Hangout interface, feel free to skip the invites [[Media:Mediaproject-screencap2.png]] and use the "Link to share" described bellow.
 * Make sure you have the right microphone selected in "Settings" and that it is working, see [[Media:Mediaproject-screencap6.png]]
 * If you have a USB microphone or console and good Internet connection, change the quality to "Studio" in "Settings".
 * If you want other participants that just yourself, you can invite them with the "Invite People" button, but it is generally simpler to give them the "Link to share" by IM or email, see [[Media:Mediaproject-screencap3.png]]
 * Note that anyone with the link may join the call. Be careful.
 * In the Google+ Hangout interface, bottom right, click on "Links" and share the the "YouTube Page" link with viewers. This will be the same link as the offline recording of your broadcast. See [[Media:Mediaproject-screencap4.png]]
 * This is the same as the "YouTube page" from the event page on Google+, you can also share the "Event Page" itself, but it is recommended to use just the YouTube link to avoid confusion.
 * Click on "Start broadcast" to start publishing on YouTube
 * Everything is automatically recorded into YouTube and will be published as a normal YouTube video once you stop the broadcast.
 * After broadcasting, make sure you are not using Google+ or YouTube as "OWASP" anymore by switching back to your account.
 * Feel free to use the control room during the event to manage sound from participants
 * The Q&A feature of Hangout can also be used, but will probably require Google+ access, so using Twitter or another channel is recommended. You can also monitor YouTube comments.

So then again, do not mix the two kind of links, "Link to share" is for _participants_ and "YouTube Link" or "Event Link" is for _viewers_.
