Units are encouraged to work with McGill’s Social Media team and Video Production Services when looking to produce original video content for the University's YouTube channel. Live-streaming to McGill's main YouTube channel is done solely by the Multimedia team and to the McGill Facebook page at the discretion of the Social Media team. Please see our Visual Identity Guide when creating videos for the channel. CER has the final determination whether content is to be published on our channel. When submitting a video file for uploading to the channel, have a look at this guide for supplying us with the proper metadata to accompany the video. If your video is more for an internal audience, consider using Stream (video sharing software). If you have video or audio content that meets the following criteria and want to share it on the McGill YouTube or podcasting channel, info.communications [at] mcgill.ca (contact us).
