Community List: public Tobira installations

[LukasKalbertodt]

This discussion is about listing public Tobira installation, usually running in production. This can be very useful for people interested in Tobira, to see how it is used in the real world. It can also be useful for people already running Tobira, comparing and getting inspiration from other installations.

I personally know of quite a few installation, but I'm not sure if I can publicly share them. So I created this discussion for institutions to post those themselves.

Please post a link to your installation and, if you want (!), a brief description (e.g. name of institution, since when you have your Tobira, main use case, or basic stats like number of videos). But keep it brief and lets make this thread just a collection and keep discussions to a minimum.

https://av-portal.uibk.ac.at

This is the instance used at the University of Innsbruck. There is not a great deal of frontpage content at present, since popular use is mainly for link-sharing and page embedding. A use breakdown of the 149 MPs added between the March 2024 soft-launch and March 2025 is below:

• 34% Teaching aid recordings
• 22% Marketing production unit media
• 21% Lab video recordings
• 12% Educational production unit media
• 11% Uploaded lecture recordings
• 0.01% Staff guidance media

https://tobira.unibe.ch/

This is the instance used at the University of Bern. We use Tobira as a full video portal, enabling university members to create their own series and upload, record and administer videos. Popular use is mainly link-sharing and page embedding of publicly published videos. Access to course-level content, such as lecture recordings, is via our learning platform, ILIAS.

https://video.ethz.ch/

We host (almost) all videos at/for ETH Zürich, lecture recordings, event recordings, and institutional content. With Tobira, ETH employees can actively engage with the video portal for the first time - let's see how this works out ... students can only watch videos, but at least we increased maximum viewing speed to 2x for them.
