WordPress TV is a visual resourceon the WordPress world, started in 2009
as a project of Automattic.

On WordPress.tv there are videos from various WordCamps in the world, and even the Meetups and other WP related events,in addition to the tutorials on WordPress.
Where do the videos come from?

organizers of WordCamps and can be shipped worldwide.

cases, such as for WCEU and WCUS,professional firms are hired.

The links to video files to be edited or to be uploaded on WordPress.tv are placed in a
shared spreadsheet, in the respective WordCamp tabs, and the contributors
can self-assign videos to work on.
