Gaia Data Release 2: A guide for scientists

"Gaia Data Release 2: A guide for scientists" consists of a series of videos from scientists to scientists. They are meant to give some overview of Gaia Data Release 2 and give help or guidance on the usage of the data. Also given are warnings and explanations on the limitations of the data. These videos are based on Skype interviews with the scientists.
