In the past, CCTV was able stream you meetings and shows through a free service called Google Video.  Google did not charge us to host the videos and there was no time limit on how long they could be.  Google then bought You Tube.  In the transition, Google Video has turned to focusing more on indexing the videos on You Tube than streaming videos themselves.  We can no longer upload videos to Google Video.  You Tube has a 10-minute maximum length limit for their videos and we cannot use them.  We have researched other “Free” streaming solutions to get us back online.  All of them that we have found will insert some type of advertising into the videos.  We would have no control over the content.  We would have no control over the content and there for cannot trust the ad content would be in good standards.  

We currently have a bid proposal to replace the current production equipment at Chaska City Hall.  In this proposal we have included purchasing our own streaming server.  But with the economic times, we are on a hold for all new purchases.  

We are continually looking for free streaming solutions so we can get CCTV back online as soon as possible.

 Thank you for your patience.
