Alternately, you can open your videos up to anyone at UB by choosing Anyone at the organization with the link in step 3, above.

Recordings with this access level are unlisted, meaning the session won't be discoverable by anyone browsing the site; they can only be accessed by having the direct link and a valid UBIT login.
