@nik You're right to suggest, given the values of Matrix, that it'd be good to have other options. When it comes time for the Foundation to run events of its own, you can bet we'll try to make other options available in addition to YouTube. And perhaps next year we can help the Community Summit with that, too.

@matrix The foundation doesn't do much better: Matrix Live every week is slapped in my face as a YouTube embed on the blog, loading the blog alone transfers my data to Google, the embeds don't even respect basic GDPR privacy rights, and also ping the DoubleClick ad network every time someone loads the blog.
