add video of sharing exps via vs code

[dberenbaum]

This is a first attempt to start doing more regular updates to the docs that incorporate the newest vs code features. Open to thoughts on how to structure this. Should we use youtube videos? Should we record separate screenshots/gifs for these?

Thanks @dberenbaum !

[Q] Did you rewatch this video to make sure it has the correct content? Should the link be to this one? Also... can we use a gif instead 😄 😬.

I think @mattseddon is right here and this brings up an interesting question on language. The video Matt is suggesting is talking about "sharing" experiments to Studio, while the more recent one is about sharing with a colleague. Maybe we need to define language around this to be more clear? Maybe "sharing" should be used for collaboration things and we should use another term for sharing to DVC Studio? Cast to Studio? Send to Studio? Sync with Studio?

To be clear I don't think we need to redo the video. I could easily adjust the thumbnail, title and description wording.

🤔 I thought this was a good video for here because it goes end to end from adding the token, to pushing experiments, to sharing a studio link.

Up to you. My take would be that besides saving you form having to do two versions of product updates, having you talk through it is more helpful and easier to follow.

We can use YouTube videos, but we may want to think about using the same content with Wistia. We would get really granular data on how people are viewing the videos on the page and we wouldn't have to see the not quite on brand/tacky YouTube thumbnails. Also for some reason our websites crop the YouTube links oddly instead of keeping them in their ratios.

I have to use best practices on YT thumbnails for YouTube (and am currently adjusting them to be less cluttered and show the people bigger), but they don't look that great on the website. And they don't autoplay, which might be better.

Up to you on that @jendefig

This would be easiest, provided we do it so it autoplays like in the blog posts:https://iterative.ai/f045f6d718b6d1a25267598a06ef0558/dvc-part-update.gif

But do we think that it will be understandable enough with the text surrounding the video, without someone explaining?

This was my worry, especially for the workflow in this video that has so many steps.

OK. So easiest is plugging in the YouTube video. Ultimately we should probably go with something like Wistia, But I see this as an after-next-funding kind of initiative due to opening another project right now with limited bandwidth.

We could also just use the original video auto-played, not inserting the YouTube one. The only thing I wonder about is will the audio be immediately running when it autoplays or will it be silent? cc: @yathomasi

@jendefig Do you want to wait on that or publish the YT one? It at least can drive people to the channel potentially, right 😄 ?

Let's not hold up progress. Just publish the YouTube one. I'll make an issue to revisit this video issue about Wistia etc. And when we can accomplish/make a decision we can overhaul all of them.

@jendefig Let me know if your concern is addressed.

YouTube videos support features like autoplay, muted, loop, start at a particular time, etc. through parameters. (ref)

So, I have updated the link here to autoplay video(muted). If what you are seeking is different, let's discuss over the issue you have created:

Awesomeness! 😍 Thanks @yathomasi!!! This is great! I'll start shortening the length of the thumbnail time at the beginning and it will not be there for so long.
