Was anybody else a bit confused by how the page says "The content you want, and nothing else - Create a secure, encrypted video site with no ads and no unrelated videos to distract people—and no headaches for your IT department." and right next to it they show a screenshot of a page with "Trending Videos" and "Popular Channels"? Isn't that pretty much the opposite of what they should be showing there?

I think they are demonstrating discovery within-company. That feature will be huge. It potentially eliminates meetings that would have had to occur "between silos" - which are extremely difficult meetings to begin with.

If somebody from team A (on campus 1) can watch a video from team C (on campus 3) without needing their team leaders to coordinate a meeting, this will be extremely valuable to businesses.

But why would team A ever find out about team C? That's where this discovery feature comes in. See what's trending within-company.

Then managers tell their employees to watch a video to influence the trending status and it just becomes another internal propaganda tool. Seen it with internal like buttons and comment sections time and time again.

No reason a corporation's internal video repository couldn't have those things, if they're large enough.
