For a client, I am going to create a website which, like this one https://nicolewilkins.com/category/video/ , has video lessons on it - and the lessons are restricted to members of the site.
I would like to put my videos in Youtube and then embed them in the individual blog posts. But can I "hide" the Youtube account, on which I post the videos, so that people can't view the videos for free on Youtube?
Thanks :-)

I need to share the URL of a video on Facebook and Twitter but some of the videos are hosted on ooyala. I didn't get any direct link for videos which are hosted on ooyala, like for videos that are hosted on YouTube.
How can we access the videos which are hosted on ooyala directly by URL like YouTube?
Ooyala is not exactly like YouTube. It doesn't have a public-facing website to browse all the videos it stores. Ooyala provides video hosting, but every customer is in charge of displaying the video to the end users, so if, for example, Vice uploads an asset to it, the URL that you should use to share on social networks is the article on vice.com it belongs to.

Niles, to address you comment about shared to Facebook; Ooyala recently released an updated Syndication method specifically to share videos directly to Facebook (as well as existing method to do the same direct sharing to Youtube)
Check out this link to learn more about how to syndicate directly to Facebook. http://support.ooyala.com/users/documentation/tasks/syndication_facebook.html
i need to put videos taken from a specific vimeo album. The videos are private (hide from video) so i need to use the advanced api but it seems that OAuth needs an user click to proceed. How can i show directly the videos?
First, if you are starting now I would recommend the new API
Second, if you are only ever using a single user you can just hard code your authentication into your app. Vimeo's documentation describes this feature in more detail.
Utilising YouTube Direct so that users can upload video's for approval directly to my site.
1) All the approved videos will be displayed in some form of gallery on the site.
2) All registered users will be able to view thus galleries.
My Question:
Is there a way to limit or restrict access to the actual embed code of those playlist/ gallery video on my site?
We would like to make it so that all users can view all videos on the site but a (business users - who wants to embed a video on their own site) they must have access rights supplied by our company first.
In basic form. If a business user wants to use/ embed a piece of video content which has been generated through our site to use on that companies own site - they must be a paying subscriber.
Therefore is there a way of limiting access of the embed code to certain users?
Appreciate any help. :)
YouTube videos can be public, unlisted, or private. There's a discussion of private and unlisted videos in the general YouTube help center.
There's nothing specific in the API that gives you access to other options beyond what YouTube supports.
I've noticed that some recent tweets have media associated with them, for example photos from TwitPic or Flickr and videos from Youtube. You can see them on the Twitter website directly, so it's more than just a link. My thinking is that Twitter has formed these partnerships with these select suppliers of media, being Flickr, Twitpic and such.
I'm looking to automate some tweeting from an image gallery. Yet, I do not wish to upload these photos to another place. I want to host them myself and then embed/refer to them from a tweet. Yet, they should also be seen inline.
Is such a thing possible?
2017 edit: Looks like you can get a media_id via POST media/upload and then pass the id into POST statuses/update.
2014 edit: You can add media to tweets using POST statuses/update_with_media.
Original 2011 answer: No, you can't embed media into a tweet, nor can you upload photos to Twitter.
The "embedded" media you see is just Twitter scraping the URL for the photo or video, and showing it directly within Twitter, saving users from needing to click on the link to view the media. And Twitter only scrapes media for certain popular sites.
If you want Twitter.com users to see your images inline, you'll need to upload images to one of the popular image sites you mentioned, and have its URL in your tweet.
If you still want to drive traffic to your site, you could also include your gallery's URL within the same tweet.
But keep in mind that not everyone uses Twitter via Twitter.com; there are a plethora of Twitter clients available, and I doubt many feature inline media scraping.
I'd suggest just linking to your gallery/images, and not worry about uploading them elsewhere.
You can do all this and more. (and Twitter DOES allow you to upload images). Look at the documentation for Twitter cards.

How can I bookmark a video from other site to youtube ?
You need to use the youtube API
Adding information via HTTP POST
The API returns the following response
codes for requests to add resources
such as ratings, comments, video
responses, complaints, favorite
videos, playlists, playlist entries,
subscriptions and contacts.
