Precautions When Recording Videos for Sharing on Internet

Would you feel comfortable showing this video to your boss or a potential employer, a relative or your future mother- or father-in law? Be aware that anything you post on the Internet should be considered permanent. Even if you later delete it, there is a chance that it’s been copied, forwarded or reposted. Besides, there are archives that can hang on to web material even after it’s been taken down.

Larry Magid – When it comes to privacy, be aware of what’s in the scene that you’re recording. Posters on your wall, photos on a shelf, school or team t-shirts people are wearing, address signs in front of a house or car license plate numbers can reveal your identity.

If you are taping in a public place, be sure to ask permission before including bystanders in the video and never take video of other people’s children without permission. Link.
