Add a video channel to your Drupal site

| | | |Video is immensely popular on the web, and you can easily add a video channel to any Drupal (and even non-Drupal) site using facilities already developed for Drupal.
This simple video system can handle almost any type of video including your own or other people's clips from Youtube, Vimeo, Google and more than a dozen other providers as well as locally or remotely hosted video files in a number of formats.
The videos will become normal Drupal nodes, which can appear in any number of ways on your site, and to which you can attach all the usual extras such as comments, voting and much more. They can be integrated with the rest of the site using taxonomy, blocks, views, templates or whatever mechanism you fancy.
The session will demonstrate in situ how to configure the Emfield-module, how to create a channel from scratch, how to add videos, how to create custom views such as most recent, most watched or highest rated videos.
And it's quick and easy too...
