To answer your question first, no.

But maybe you can offer a bounty and post it in the service section? This will most likely cost you something though.

But what I wonder honestly is why people want howto-videos anyway. I find it very tiresome to do something after a video. I have to skip back if I missed a part. And while its nice so see where to click, a picture can have the same effect. Also if I have to type something I cant copy paste it from the video. I actually have to type it. So its limited to clicking stuff.
A video has a certain speed and maybe I am faster or slower. The video part of the howto is just in the way. I get that you want to visualize something and that can be very helpfull, but a video is not the way to do it imho.
There seems to be a trend where someone just makes a screencapture and talks over the steps to make a youtube video.

There are certainly some advantages of using videos over text or static pics.
IMO, it is easier to attract attention with videos and it allows users with zero knowledge or experience to follow the steps more easily.

Why not send an email to Blockchain.info, telling them how it would be in their advantage to make these kind of video tutorials.
Such videos are in their best interest as well. Plus, they'd make some really professional looking videos, or rather pay for them.

You know how daunting it is for a person, who are new to anything, to get started. Some people just think it's to difficult, and then they give up.

Other people simply do not have time to figure these things out on their own, and give up to.

It would be great, to use one of the best media available {youtube} to educate new people. When I search Bitcoin stuff on youtube, I get video's stating how big a scam Bitcoins are.

Some positive contributions, would be good for the Bitcoin community on one of the services most used on the internet.

Hope someone can help.

I have recently introduced a lot of new people to Bitcoins. The part that most people are struggling to do, is to understand the more complex functions
of https://blockchain.info/

I wondered if someone have video tutorials of Blockchain functions, like :

1. Two-factor Authentication
2. Backup & Restore of Wallet
3. Device Pairing
4. Paper Wallet

There are some video's explaining the "Creation" of the wallet, but not for the rest.

Anyone willing to help?
