Google Video For Business Adds Caption & Larger Uploads

In order to apply Google's own video technology to solving real business and education problems, Google launched Google Video for business in Google Apps. Google itself, and Google Apps customers, have been using the product for everything from executive briefings to extending training events to its remote offices to sharing wacky office moments with coworkers.

Google announced two major new features that are available right now on your domain :

• Captions : Google video added a new captioning feature which allows you to give viewers a deeper understanding of your video. Captions can help people who would not otherwise understand the audio track to follow along, especially those who speak other languages or who are deaf or hearing impaired. You'll find details and administrative information here.

• Larger Uploads : Users with Google Gears configured in their browser can now upload videos of up to 1 GB in size, up from the 300 MB limit previously available. This is important to businesses and schools that need to host longer form or higher quality video. If you'd like to upload videos of this size, simply get Google Gears or Google Chrome to enable larger uploads.
