Using YouTube is legally not an option here due to Privacy Act of 1974.

  This is why the U.S. government needs a dedicated digital team like the Obama administration had setup. The entire government can be their clients, so they can efficiently reuse stuff they’ve developed. The UK government has done this I believe (I’m not entirely sure how it’s setup, but I do remember them publishing a UI toolkit that didn’t just look good but covered accessibility properly), and I think every govt should be doing it going forward.

    It's still around: https://www.usds.gov/ https://www.usds.gov/, and similar to the UK system, there's a US Gov equivalent: https://designsystem.digital.gov/ https://designsystem.digital.gov/ The UK one: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/government-digital-service https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/government-digit...

      There's even https://cloud.gov/ https://cloud.gov/ But parent's comment doesn't make sense. The video file is only 1.2mb in size and it's already being hosted on a Azure's object storage: https://aambpublicoceanservice.blob.core.windows.net/oceanserviceprod/geodesy/NGS_Survey_Foot.mp4 https://aambpublicoceanservice.blob.core.windows.net/oceanse... I think the native HTML5 video player just doesn't preload as much video and maybe his connection was spotty.

  This is not true. It’s perfectly possible for the US government to use YouTube in a privacy act compliant manner. https://www.dhs.gov/youtube-privacy-policy-and-notice https://www.dhs.gov/youtube-privacy-policy-and-notice
