Thank you very much for all these suggestions, Nemo!

What I was looking for, specifically, was a few examples of a GLAM institution intentionally contributing (directly to Commons) footage of a non-Wikimedia event taking place under its auspices -- a lecture, a concert, a reading, anything.  I admit I am surprised at how vanishingly little of *that* we seem to have on Commons.

I guess I will encourage librarians to do this *without* offering existing examples. :-/

Indeed we don't have good categories for this. An intersection of
categories like "Videos by format" and "Cultural institutions" gives
some results like:
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AProf%2E%5FSchellnhuber%5Fat%5Fthe%5FConference%5Fof%5FPresentation%5Fof%5Fthe%5FEncyclical%5FLaudato%5Fsi%27%2Ewebm>

And FastCCI immediately found this curious video:

What are you trying to show? Are you excluding videos imported from
YouTube? If so, I've used:
https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=17458697

It's easier to find some promotional videos like:
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AMore%5FReal%5Fthan%5FReality%5FItself%2C%5Fthe%5FRoyal%5FArmoury%2C%5FSkokloster%5FCastle%5Fand%5Fthe%5FHallwyl%5FMuseum%2Ewebm>

It's often reasonable to upload the raw videos to YouTube so I wouldn't
exclude a video like this from OCLC and others:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AInauguraci%C3%B3%5Fde%5Fla%5FBiblioteca%5FMontserrat%5FAbell%C3%B3%2Ewebm

Then we have countless videos from the White House which are often
actually good but may not serve your purposes very well.
