militarygamer Posted July 18, 2015 at 12:47 PM Report Posted July 18, 2015 at 12:47 PM Hello, I am a businessman and I need a English language video sharing site to upload my videos, I need to do a presentation, unfortunately most if not all foreign video websites e.g youtube, dailymotion, liveleak are all banned in China. Only those crappy Chinese sites such as youku and tudou but they are really slow and they have a lot of restrictions, every video I've uploaded have to be screened and cencorned before it can be posted. Please help me if anyone know of any video sharing websites not banned in China, thanks. Quote

edelweis Posted July 18, 2015 at 09:19 PM Report Posted July 18, 2015 at 09:19 PM given the OP's post last year, I'd like to point out this news article: China arrested Britons over 'terrorist videos' 2 Quote
Demonic_Duck Posted July 19, 2015 at 06:27 AM Report Posted July 19, 2015 at 06:27 AM I think Vimeo is still available, for what it's worth. But yeah, do try to avoid getting arrested, whatever it is you're doing. Quote
Lu Posted July 19, 2015 at 08:37 AM Report Posted July 19, 2015 at 08:37 AM I'm in Beijing at the moment and Vimeo appears to be blocked. Only those crappy Chinese sites such as youku and tudou but they are really slow and they have a lot of restrictions, every video I've uploaded have to be screened and censorned before it can be posted.Note that the censorship is the whole point. Non-Chinese sites are blocked exactly because the government can't control what goes on there. If you want the Chinese people to hear whatever you have to say, your best course of action is to just navigate the Chinese video sharing sites. Quote
Demonic_Duck Posted July 19, 2015 at 04:16 PM Report Posted July 19, 2015 at 04:16 PM I'm also in Beijing and I can get on Vimeo without my VPN, though it's admittedly a little slow. Quote
889 Posted July 19, 2015 at 05:20 PM Report Posted July 19, 2015 at 05:20 PM What am I missing? You're a businessman and presumably your company has a website. Host the video there. Quote
militarygamer Posted July 20, 2015 at 04:40 AM Author Report Posted July 20, 2015 at 04:40 AM 889 Sure, but it will be dead slow and videos take up a lot of space for a website server. That's why we prefer video sharing sites that are meant for the purpose. Quote
tysond Posted July 20, 2015 at 08:20 AM Report Posted July 20, 2015 at 08:20 AM Using something like Office 365 might be better, there is data center in China, as well as in other countries. If you are relying on free consumer grade services to run your business, you'll be stuck with the restrictions it entails. China does not allow broadcasting of just anything, that's the way it is. If you don't want to spend any money I am afraid I have no recommendations. Quote
roddy Posted July 20, 2015 at 09:24 AM Report Posted July 20, 2015 at 09:24 AM Maybe something like Knovio http://www.knovio.com/ All sounds a bit odd though. Run it from your laptop or whatever you have. Even a cheapo tablet should be able to hook up to a projector, perhaps with an adaptor or two in the middle. Quote
