If you're a nerd into cloud providers, web development, etc, then mabye that sounds reasonable. If you're some person in charge of training that has none of that techy background, putting a video up on YouTube sounds like the perfect idea.

Yea, that is entirely doable. Some transcoding might need to be done first though. The worst part is that you’ll have to get your IT department involved.

That's also one reason spreadsheets are still so popular:

As an average corporate drone, you can either hack together something quickly over the weekend in Excel that will mostly work. Or you can wait 3+ months for your IT department to fail to deliver.

(And that's the best case scenario.)

You probably can, but the people who are tasked with delivering training videos likely do not have the technical ability to do so.

They do, they made a training video and put it on youtube. Now after years of benefiting from that for free they have to press a button to make it keep working like it always has. Seems like a pretty good and reliable setup.

They do. S3 and <video> tags are not usually part of that skill set.

In a world _no one_ has said skills and tools anyone becomes auto qualified in relative sense
