Schools using Education Edition can now share videos privately and securely among faculty and staff with Google Video. Videos can be uploaded, shared with specific permissions, and watched by authorized viewers with no special hardware or software. Each school gets 3GB of video storage per user account, but admins must first whitelist specific users to give them permission to upload videos. Google Video is available for free trial in Education Edition until March 9, 2009, at which point it will cost $10 per user, per year.

Editions impacted:
Education Edition

Once enabled, Google Video is available for whitelisted Education Edition users at http://video.google.com/a/example.com, but remember to replace "example.com" with your actual domain name.
