Describe the problem to be solved

Sometimes it's useful to know which user uploaded a video to a channel with a shared management.
It can be found in logs but this option is available only for administrators.

Describe the solution you would like

it would be nice to have some additional field which shows video author.
Currently I'm manually editing description, tagging a user. That seem like a simpler workaround that works well. The only thing that it needs to be automated during the video upload.

Hello and thanks for the tip! It's much more user-friendly than logs.

I still think that this information needs to be added somewhere on the video page because:

"Activity" is good for recent uploads. But for older ones, it could be difficult to search for the specific video between pages
AFAIK, channel "Activity" is available only for Editors. I'd like to show the author name to the regular users.
