why no websites in the film?
That’s a requirement by some of the outlets.

Why Google Chrome web browser only?
We’re using the latest browser standards for example to power browser-based upload of 300 GB+ video files, resume upload, multi-location upload etc. We’ll lift this limitation as other browsers support the features needed, and also as our resources allow for wider potential support requests. Thanks for asking!
