Many GTN tutorials already have recordings. These recordings were made by members of the community for a variety of (online) training events.
Up until now, this video library were part of the [Gallantries Project](https://gallantries.github.io/).
We have now integrated this video library directly into the GTN, and made it even **easier to add video recordings** to GTN tutorials or slide decks!
**We welcome video recordings from everybody!**

**To ensure the highest quality of the tutorials you should do:**
1. **Review** and update the GTN tutorial
2. **Test** the tutorial on at least 1 Galaxy instance
3. **Check** that the workflow is in sync with the written instructions
4. **Record** a video of yourself teaching the tutorial
Please checkout out our FAQs with instructions for adding your own recordings:
