Video recording feature

[binarykitchen]

Hello again,

Wondering if you have a package to video record and insert a video right away in the browser without any detours?

[binarykitchen]

@wojtekLs Isn't that too painful, feels like a detour? And what about privacy, you don't want to host videos on YT solely for posts on another seerver?

[binarykitchen]

@wojtekLs understand. Might work fine like that.

It is just this:

• What if you want to host and server all the data (including videos) from the same server?
• YT processes all videos for internal use, recommendations, and they are never 100% private nor secure.
• Not everyone knows how to use YT's sharing and embedding features properly.
• Accessibility: Deaf people intending to post in Sign Language. It's an obstacle.
• Usability: Pretend I want to say something over video quickly, just 10 seconds, while I'm busy. A detour over YT? No, thanks.

@wojtekLs How can screen readers and grabbers assist with Sign Language?

[binarykitchen]

I can't think of any screen readers being able to interpret Sign Language into spoken language.

Hey @binarykitchen,

there is currently no option to directly create a video in the Gutenberg editor. You have to upload it at least to your media library in WordPress. But you can host it on your own instance. To embed the Video you can use the "Video Block" or use the "Custom HTML" Block. You can even create your own Block or create a Preset, called "Block Pattern" of your block configuration.

@devfle thanks for the pointer, that looks better. But still, not being able to directly record a video is still a disadvantage.

Wondering if you would welcome a new Gutenberg plugin which enables direct video recording, on the same service instance?

I could help with that.

"moreless"? - That's a new word for me.

"I can code it?" - Yep, there is already a working solution out there :)
