Random Thought for the day – Xbox 360 Kinect Just Dance 4 and JDTV
Not sure how many people actually know this (I would guess most since it says upload to JDTV on the Xbox 360), but when you finish dancing at Just Dance 4 for the Xbox you get to see / edit a video of yourself. When finishing you can upload to the Just Dance TV station for all other Just Dance 4 gamers to watch / see and like or laugh at. If you share the video others can view and see your video from the game and from the interwebz.
Since I have two younger children, and my account has the live subscription, I put a pin to use my account (same way you can put a pin for restricting types of games / video content). With this I do not have to type out my entire password to use it just a quick pin, which is very convenient as long as the kids don\’t watch my hands. You can use the Kinect and a hand to click your password on the screen but that kind of defeats the purpose really don\’t you think Microsoft??
But I digress… that\’s security and parental controls.. back to the game and the Just Dance TV station…
There are a lot of videos of people on the Just Dance TV, many of which are with people that are dressed in PJ\’s and sleeping attire that you probably would not typically post a video of you dancing to the world with. So is it that people just do not realize that when they say upload it to Just Dance TV means uploading it similarly to a youtube style review or you can even view it from your PC – http://justdancetv.ubi.com/en-US/xbox/home . Another option is you can log in with Facebook and post it there to your friends only, or post with the world and let everyone see you. My guess is that your video will be shared as a link to their server if you tweet / fb post or G+ it since I had a public video, which I then unshared, but I can still get to as long as I know the URL.
My random thought for the day is – Do you know that you are posting your Just Dance 4 Videos (that you share to Just Dance TV) to the world for all to see? With some of the favorites you can easily tell since they are dressed up as Darth Vader and a couple of storm troopers all the way to Duffman. If you know that it is going to the interwebz for all to see great and more power to you… however I am SURE there are a large amount of users not realizing just how far reaching the Just Dance TV network goes.
With Xbox 360 Gamertag\’s been hijacked you should also think about using a different username for your ubisoft account versus your Xbox 360 live Gamertag. Just a side note.
Finding your Video on the interwebz –
If you are someone that has a lot of likes and views you can go to the most popular area and search around. I thought another way would be to searching the autodance number, autodance number plus country but it did not seem to work properly. I am guessing you can do a quick search for yourself but it is probably faster by logging on to your account and viewing your shared videos. If you want to find your videos you have to log on to your ubisoft account and go under your channel. There you can see links directly to your videos that you have shared and then you can copy / paste the url at the top to post to Facebook / G+ / Twitter (why would you tweet this?).
Closing thoughts
So if you have the game Just Dance 4 for xbox 360 and kinect and do NOT want your video\’s up on the web you save the video but not post it online. If you do post it you could try facebook for the application add on but I would not give my facebook info to a third party application.
