GCompris Video 3

Thu Mar 28 14:56:30 GMT 2024

Hello Paul,

I’m delighted to say we are able to offer you the GCompris videos to post on your own channels after all, and apologise for the hiatus while we sorted this out internally. 

At some point soon I will give you the link to the latest video like we did last time, and look forward to seeing it on peer tube as well as YT. 

As for your other points below (about us having an account there and a few other things), we didn’t have time to address that yet, but will consider.

In the meantime, have a great Easter break!

All the best,

Frances
