I don't think he was thinking of youtube, but rather "any random
web-server to which you can add documents".

E.g. for me I typically `scp <doc> <host>:html/<name>`
after which the file is available under
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~monnier/<name>

For bug-reports, this is perfectly sufficient.  For a tutorial to which
you want to refer beginners it might not be as good since the browser
might just decide to download the file and not play it (and also it
probably won't stream, so the playback will only start after the whole
file is downloaded).
