more clarity around use of commercials?

Current behavior

I was just confirming my talk for the openSUSE Summit (which runs on osem) and I see a "Commercials" feature which says

You can add commercials for your proposal. These commercials will be displayed on the public proposal page. If you don't add a commercial, the conference commercial will be displayed!

However I'm not entirely sure how these commercials would be displayed, or what is the purpose of them? I see that you can paste a URL to a video on YouTube / Vimeo etc. but does the whole video get embedded, or just a thumbnail?

Expected correct behavior

It would be nice to add some clarity to the text, so that the UI explains exactly how commercial URLs are used / rendered, and what they are for.

Steps to reproduce

I visited https://events.opensuse.org/conference/oSSN19/program/proposal/2309/edit#commercials-content (this won't be accessible without the relevant credentials, but the URL should be enough to see which type of page I was on).

The video would be embedded in the page showing your proposal, ie https://events.opensuse.org/conference/oSSN19/program/proposal/2309

Randomly selected example: https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSC18/program/proposal/1663/

What would you suggest? A better hint on the URL you mentioned? A more extensive mention somewhere in a readme file?

it should be called 'video/slides' ... not 'commercial'.

yeah naming this differently than the model is a good start.

As a new comer to OSEM, I agree -- videos and slides seems reasonable to me!

Revisiting an old issue...but I have been calling this "Materials" in my fork (https://github.com/snap-cloud/snapcon/). It seems to work fairly well. I've also relaxed the oembed constraints such that anything that doesn't have a dedicated embed gets an iframe. This is useful because some people might have other things like a document or google sheet they'd like to share.
