COMMUNITY VIDEO BRIEFING · Workflow idea

Help your community decide which videos are worth their time.

When a new video is available, gather its title, link, and transcript when one is available, then prepare a short summary of the main points. Keep the source alongside the draft so a community owner can check accuracy, select the right discussion space, and approve the complete announcement before it is shared.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A new public video from a channel selected by a community owner

“Prepare a source-linked summary and video announcement, then hold it until a person approves the content and intended community destination.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps community teams share useful video context so members can decide whether to watch without opening every new release.

  1. Identify a new video and its source

    Confirm the video belongs to the selected channel and gather its title and public link.

  2. Gather available spoken content

    Use an available transcript or captions as reference material and flag cases where there is not enough source content to summarize.

  3. Prepare a concise summary

    Capture the main points without adding claims or treating an uncertain interpretation as something the speaker said.

  4. Check the summary and community destination

    Have a person compare important points with the source and confirm the intended discussion space and audience.

  5. Approve before sharing

    Require the community owner to review the exact link, summary, wording, and recipient space before the announcement is posted.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A proposed video post with its link, summary, and destination shown together, awaiting human approval before sharing.

The handoff

A proposed video post with its link, summary, and destination shown together, awaiting human approval before sharing.

Keep in mind

A summary may omit important context or overstate a point, and the wrong discussion space can expose an announcement to an unintended audience. Check claims against the video or transcript, verify the link and destination, and require a community owner to approve the exact post and recipient space before sharing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the video channel and review cadence

Select which public channel is in scope and how often new releases should be gathered.

Set summary expectations

Decide the preferred length, key information to include, and how missing or unclear source material is handled.

Choose community destinations and approvers

Identify the discussion spaces where posts may appear and name the owner who approves each recipient destination.

Test missing transcripts and repeat releases

Check a complete source, a video without usable spoken text, and a previously reviewed release; keep uncertain posts on hold.
