True, although this seems more oriented for showing behind the scenes

 From what I can see it seems we can advertize other channels on the 
GNOMEDesktop channel but I don't know if videos from other channels 
then reaches out to the 4k followers we have there..

The current strategy to confront this has been to explicitly upload to 
videos.guadec.org first and promote this video location through social 
media as the first class citizen (hoping the guadec servers can handle 
the traffic).

But we also have 4000 subscribers on the GNOMEDesktop youtube channel 
and having the videos searchable from a platform as big as youtube can 
benefit us from an engagement POV.
