<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p>Hi Christopher,</p>
<p>I also read about this, and I believe the best alternative for now is for those Chapters to create their own individual YouTube channels and re-upload the videos before they are deleted, ensuring that years of valuable intellectual discussions are preserved.</p>
<p>Alternatively, when Chapters stream their events, they can use a free multistream service that allows them to broadcast simultaneously on both YouTube and Facebook. This would eliminate the need to download and re-upload videos to a different platform, making the process more efficient going foward.</p>
<p>Other folks can chime in if they know of any other best practices chapters can adopt.</p>

For all those chapters that are storing their live streams on Facebook, you need to start downloading them and finding an alternate solution to long-term archival of these videos. Facebook will start deleting any remaining videos from 9 June, so three months
from now (however I would not wait and I'd start now) as they are no longer keeping them beyond 30 days.</div>
