Part 1 (2020)

Hi @jcatanza. You are right to focus on this point from Jeremy’s post:

Please don’t share the video links at all. But if you wish to re-stream to a study group that you are carefully managing, and where people have to sign up for access (so not just anyone can connect any time), then you may do so.

As the course is not officialy released, I understand why we can’t share the video links - even to our local study group - and then, I looked for a simple solution. This is the one I thought about and would like to receive a validation from @Jeremy in order to use it here in Brasilia (thanks in advance):

  1. I download into my local laptop the lesson video from Youtube in mp4 by using for example, SaveFromNet (as an option, you can download the English autogenerated subtitles in srt by using for example, Google2SRT and following this HowToDo guide, or even savesubs which is an online service).
  2. I upload to my Google Drive the mp4 file (as an option, you can associate the subtitles file to the video file by right-clicking on the video file and choosing Manage caption tracks).
  3. I open the Share >> Advanced menu (right-click menu on the mp4 file in Google Drive), select Private and the 2 following options:
    – Prevent editors from changing access and adding new people
    – Disable options to download, print, and copy for commenters and viewersacess by email
  4. Finally, before clicking on Done, I copy/paste emails members of my local group in the Invite field.

Note: Google Drive needs some time in order to process (prepare) the video to be watched (about 10 ou 15 mn).

With this process, only members of my local group can watch the lesson video and nobody of my local group can

  • see the Youtube url of the original lesson video
  • download the lesson video (only watching by streaming can be done)

I think this process follows the rules (Jeremy?) but there is a problem: I need to know all the emails of the members of my local group but I do not (we use Telegram as canal de comunication). Therefore, I would like to use another sharing option in Google Drive (Anyone who has the link can view) and send the link to the members of my local group with the warning: “You are not allowed to share this link with anyone.”.

Is it possible?

Note: I will use Zoom for teaching my own class but I do not need it to re-stream the whole lessons videos I think.
