After explaining the needs of the business, he said that they need to post videos for their clients to see the progress of their work.

During our development sessions today, in route to video support and group creation, we noticed a small issue related to private content items that needed to be fixed. If you don't know already, private content items are items that have all the attributes of other content items (eg, tasks, events) but are visible only to the creator, and the users that are referenced. This system was put in place to avoid having to create groups and workspaces - so you can just quickly submit a private item without any hassle.
