2. Current status
Users prefer looking at videos rather than plain tutorial :
Online courses web site
MOOC (Massive Open Online Course)
Youtube
Other web sites …
You can’t find some movies about Geant4 on the web, but nothing « official »
Youtube movies made by people (geant4 version?, quality ?)
Movies from Geant4 developpers, but only available on their web site

8. What could we do to outreach theses videos ?
Create a Geant4 account on Youtube
Add a Geant4 Youtube channel
But we have to control what we put :
Control comments (allow or not users to add comments)
Describe « at best » what we have in each video
Store all theses videos not only on youtube, but also on a « trusted » area (CERN, ….)
Be able to update videos for each release (at least an installation tutorial)
In order to test that, I’ve put the collected videos on my own youtube account at beginning of September

Agreed on a « video description pattern » that will be put for all videos
Be able to update new installation tutorials for each release
Choose who will be able to have access to youtube account ….

15. New logo for Geant4 Youtube channel
Why ?
Account logo size is square
Current Geant4 account is rectangle, difficult to fit in
A square logo could be useful in other publications
