New Branded YouTube Channel

youtube-channel1

We just upgraded our YouTube channel to the beta version and added our own style. We have had a YouTube channel for a while but just recently we decided to take the plunge into the beta format. So far so good, we really like how smooth the interface is.

Whats different in beta?

  • Complete reorganization of item placement
  • Compact uploads, favorites and playlists
  • AJAX style video switching
  • Cleaner header and subscribe button
  • Even more at the YouTube beta blog

Adding our own style

Making use of the customization options we added a background and overall style that fit the newest branding of the university. The new W is also prominently featured on the channel home and the video player.

Always looking for videos

We are always looking for videos to be included in our channel. Since we are part of the YouTube EDU group they no longer limit our videos to 10 minutes in length. This gives us a large opportunity to post full lectures, speakers and events.

If your department has a video you want posted or featured we would be happy to work with you to determine the best route for it. Just drop us a line at wcs@wayne.edu and we can go from there.
