I think a YT channel would definitely work well. Charlie, Keith, can we
get an ETA on when you could have a channel created and have the videos
trasnferred there? Once that's done (or even once the channel is
created, I suppose) we could get a GH PR to MCT for the link to the
channel to replace the link to the Google+ link.
