You will be able to upload from the desktop app to the network while being offline/or on an unstable internet connection. Over a relatively short period of time your video will be synced with the network and fully playable to others.

Let me be more specific on what I exactly mean here. One of the main issues with the current website is the inability to resume uploading in the event of an internet outage. Ideally, with the desktop app you would be able to encode, and compose your video completely offline (not publishing, and making live to the network until online). Once online the user can publish their content to hive and sync their video via ipfs to public dedicated nodes for high throughput playback. Ipfs allows us to tolerate unstable internet connections. There are definitely going to be users with bad internet connections, so higher throughput servers/other nodes will need to pick up the slack.
