There are two distinct options here:

PRE-RECORDED VIDEOS

NOTE: We will be producing a guide on recording your class videos soon.

2.   YouTube

   You can publish them on YouTube so that anyone can watch them. If you have subscribers to your Channel, they will receive a notification that you’ve uploaded a new video

   You can change the privacy setting on a video so that only people with the link can view it – this means that your video won’t be included in search results. note: The link can be passed on by anyone who has it, so viewing is not as restricted as Facebook.

   Be aware that music copyright can cause the video to become unavailable.

   Similar to YouTube, but more restrictive about the amount of videos you can upload using a Basic account

   Chargeable accounts allow you to upload more content – and you can also charge to watch a video.

   Basic but it works! Simply send the video over Whatsapp to a specific group of recipients.

ONLINE STREAMING (LIVE LESSONS)

1.   Facebook Live

   It’s as simple as selecting the Live option as your status.

   Friends will receive a notification that you are live streaming.

   The audience can be anyone on your Friends list.

   The video will be saved after the Live Stream ends so it can be watched again. You may wish to go Live in a Facebook Group to restrict the audience – and again, you could charge for membership. (more on charges coming soon).

2.  Facebook Video Call 

   In Messenger, create a group chat containing all the contacts you want to be on the live call.

   Click the video button to start the call. Each person in the group chat will see an Incoming Call message – they click on that to answer. 

   The audience is restricted to who you’ve added in the Group Chat. (You could also charge to be part of this) 

   The video is not saved after the call ends – so it cannot be watched at a later date

3.  YouTube Live Stream

   This is only available with a paid subscription (not Vimeo Basic). 

   We don’t have detailed instructions for this but there are many tutorials available online.

4.  Vimeo Live Stream

   Basic but it works! Simply send the video over Whatsapp to a specific group of recipients.

   We don’t have detailed instructions for this but there are many tutorials available online.

4.  Zoom

   This is a business-focused video conferencing tool but can be used for online classes.

   Each “meeting” has a restricted audience depending on who you invite to attend.

   All dancers must have already downloaded & installed the Zoom software in order to take part.

   Each “meeting” can host up to 100 people, but the Free account only allows meetings of up to 40 minutes in length. (Unlimited-length meetings are available with a Paid subscription).
