Publishing videos hosted elsewhere is a great feature.
I was able to get cross-publication on d.tube and STEEM working after some doing. So that's good.
I don't understand the need to create a completely separate blockchain. It seems like this could have been done on STEEM with just your SCOT.
How did you get the cross-publication to work?
It did not work for me.
It took a couple tries.
After claiming my new dtube account, I ended up a bit stuck. I got it working by logging out of steem and dtube, logging into steem-on-dtude through keychain and logging into dtube-on-dtube with my dtube private posting key.
Once I was logged into both accounts separately, the video cross-posting worked
Well that’s definitely not what I’d call simple. User-friendliness hasn’t always been a strength for DTube necessarily. I always find myself having to log in and out. It’s pretty annoying.
Thanks for the info!
Yep. I made a walkthrough video:

I cleared my cache and logged out of both and back in and still no cross publication. Any other ideas on how to get it to work?
how do you mean logged in seperately? i was logged into both accounts and it did not work for me. do you use two different browsers?

Publishing videos hosted elsewhere might be useful sometimes, but it mostly defeats the purpose of DTube, which is to be an independent video site. Another copy, in case YouTube goes down, or censors your video. This is just hotlinking (embedding), encourages plagiarism and copyright infringement, and brings no discernible upgrade to the users.
What about people who have been deplatformed on YouTube, and need somewhere to upload a video? This feature does nothing for them. It's just a YouTube support function. It's something which was available even on MySpace, 20 years ago.
This isn't all things to all people. The IPFS uploads are worth doing if you are deplatformed.
For the vast majority, using YouTube as a host and potential lead in to d.tube and steem is fine.
