Hello Everyone,

As a reminder later this month, hosted video content on Google Video will no longer be available for playback. Google Video stopped taking uploads in May 2009 and now they will be removing the remaining hosted content.

On April 29, 2011, videos that have been uploaded to Google Video will no longer be available for playback. Google added a Download button to the video status page, so you can download any video content you want to save. If you don’t want to download your content, you don’t need to do anything. (The Download feature will be disabled after May 13, 2011.)

Google suggests you to move to your content to YouTube if you haven’t done so already. YouTube offers many video hosting options including the ability to share your videos privately or in an unlisted manner. To learn more go here.

Here’s how to download your videos:

1. Go to the Video Status page.
2. To download a video to your computer, click the Download Video link located on the right side of each of your videos in the Actions column.

Once a video has been downloaded, “Already Downloaded” will appear next to the Download Video link.

If you have many videos on Google Video, you may need to use the paging controls located on the bottom right of the page to access them all.

Please note: This download option will be available through May 13, 2011.

I hope this post was helpful if so be sure to share with your friends.

To your Success,

Vic
