Next Luddite question from me: how do we upload native videos to Mastodon, like we do on Twitter? 🙂

Nothing "Luddite" in the #Fediverse :) I would recommend for your organisation to run an instance of #peertube and publish videos there, then connecting them to Mastodon

Info, see: https://joinpeertube.org/#what-is-peertube

PeerTube uses ActivityPub, a federating protocol that allows you to interact with other software, provided they also use this protocol. For example, PeerTube and Mastodon -a Twitter alternative- are connected: you can follow a PeerTube user from Mastodon (the latest videos from the PeerTube account you follow will appear in your feed), and even comment on a PeerTube-hosted video directly from your Mastodon's account
