The link below is to a very brief screencast introducing the Microsoft Office 2007 Compatibility Pack. The Compatibility Pack is for users that receive a new MS Office 2007 document and they are running an older version of Office (97-2003). By default, a user of the older Office 2007 suite can not open a new file format from Office 2007 (docx, xlsx, or a pptx). The Compatibility Pack will allow them to open the file, edit it, and save it out as an Office 2007 file format or an older file format (like doc, ppt, or xls). Check out the link below to learn more.

Many people share their videos with the general public on YouTube. Some people want to record videos but only want to share it with a few close friends. YouTube allows you to privately share your video with up to 25 people at a time. Here’s a brief tutorial on how to set your YouTube video to private.
1. Log into Youtube. 
2. Click on My Account and choose Videos, Favorites, and Playlists 
3. Click the Upload Video button. 
4. Next to Broadcast Options click Choose Options
5. Choose the Private Options. You can then select people in your contact list to share this video with. You can also invite people to YouTube (by clicking Edit Contacts, but this will take you away from the video upload screen).
6. Click the Use Quick Capture button to start recording you video in YouTube. 
*You will be asked to allow YouTube to access your camera and mic, click on allow.
Note: There was a hack that allowed people to view private videos on YouTube. Some people reported that the hack no longer worked because YouTube changed their code based on this discovery.
