Would it be worthwhile to conduct a brief test?

Will we be able to use this on landing pages in
the fundraiser?
I really don't want to have to use a disclaimer and YouTube, which we
will if
this won't work.
As we saw when Google made a "Little Nemo" doodle and swamped the
Wikipedia article that included the "Gertie the Dinosaur" video with
pageviews, our infrastructure won't yet be able to serve the high
degree of concurrent access to a single video that you can expect
during the fundraiser. So even if we deploy TMH to the payments
cluster my recommendation is to go with the YouTube or Vimeo solution
for now.
