I haven't used the PF media section before. How do I find the videos that you uploaded on this? Is there a search feature or something?
Searching is enabled throughout PF, so you can take advantage of that. Go to advanced search, change to the "Search media" tab. In the keywords, you can enter LIGO India, and set the category to Astronomy and Cosmology. That will show you all the videos that I have uploaded.

Otherwise, you can go to the Astronomy and Cosmology section and try to find the videos. Currently, the videos are available at the top, so it will be easier that way.
