  You could have two sections:
  
  ```
  Staff
  Videos
  
  ```
  
  In the videos channel, create a Staff entries field type, select the Staff channel in that field's options.
  
  When you create a new video, you can relate that video to a staff entry.
  
  When displaying a video entry, you could reference that staff that is tied to that video entry like so:
  
  ```
  {{ entry.staff }}
  
  ```
  
  If you wanted to be more specific, you would do something like:
  
  ```
  {{ entry.staff.title }}
  
  ```
  
  and to get a link to the staff entry that is related to the video entry:
  
  ```
  {{ entry.staff.url }}
  
  ```
