is it possible to record a video straight to Youtube?
Say I have a site, can I have a recording functionality and use some kind of Youtube API that will have the end video posted on Youtube?
Found an upload API but not a streaming upload.
Thank you,
Tee
watch this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M74K680WRyc
and read this article: http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2006/12/8387.ars and read this: http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_quick_capture
So basically it is possible with some Flash
Another approach is to save locally, then upload.
Hhhmm, seems like you can't do it.

The web interface described by jao is now at https://www.youtube.com/my_webcam
But it is only a web interface, and you asked for an API that your website could use.
The solution for you is probably the YouTube Live streaming API. You would still probably have to use some Flash-based library to capture a stream from the webcam and send it to the API, though.

I am working on a personal program to use with my Google account. I don't have a custom website or domain to use. Basically, the idea of my request was to create a personal bot that would comment "First" on a video as a joke between my friends. I looked into the YouTube API a bit, but I got differing answers on the capabilities of the v3 data API. I found the commentThread page but am also confused about its usage. If anyone could give me a basic idea on if this project is possible, I would love to hear it.
welcome to Stack Overflow!
As you said, you want to create a comment when a video uploaded. YouTube has provide the webhooks for this.
You can see the docs push_notifications. I think that is what you want. :)
Using the YouTube Data API v3, is there a way to remove a video from my feed?
Reading through the docs, I didn't see anything on the Video resource that could match what I'm looking for.
The reason you didn't find any is there's no support for this feature yet.
I've been asked to integrate videos into an existing app which previously only let users upload posts with images.
I don't want to host the videos on my own server for the following reasons:
Server Bandwidth
File Size Limits and Storage Space
Slow-Loading Video or Unexpected Pauses During Playback
Issues with converting to specific formats
Piracy
Based off this article:
https://www.wp101.com/10-reasons-why-you-should-never-host-your-own-videos/
So I tried to research into where I could host the files and then I would simply have to store the URL in my db and use a video player to stream the content.
Vimeo and youtube seemed to be the main options I could find.
I'm wondering how best to implement, would I make use of a youtube API and on successful upload, grab the link and upload to my own server? I'm concerned this may be a long process for the end user.
Another problem is I can't see any swift examples (ZERO obj-c experience) of making the http request but perhaps it is still possible but I'd just have to write the code myself? I'm wondering if anyone has implemented anything like this already as I can't find any examples.
Looking at this question:
How do I upload a video to YouTube from within an iOS application?
None of the links in the comments work and the answer directs to the youtube 2.0 API and I'm concerned that this is now deprecated.
Any advice appreciated!
After looking for hours I still can't find a proper example of how I would load a YouTube videos into a -UItableView or something similar. Something similar to this http://gyazo.com/cb89587662fab215312c764cda281309 . Does anyone know how to do anything like this or similar ?
You should use YouTube IFrame Player for iOS.
You can check out Objective C samples from YouTube and use YouTube Objective-C client library.
Here's a great talk about Mobile best practices for YouTube

I used this for help when I was starting out with the api for my site.
It uses SimpleXML and PHP, but can with some changes be used with json.
Hope this helps you on your way.
I test with browser with the link I get from "http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=xx" to see if it is be able to download.
After remove some parameters from original link, some works but some still don't.
I read some post here but most of are pretty old. A lot of change since then.
I wonder if there are somebody working on this recently.
The purpose I need this is because my youtube view program need a better quality video to display.
This is link doesn't work:

What wrong with it? I removed fallback_path and replace sig with signature.
The working link is for webm. This is for h264. Both have the same kind of parameters.
And this is working now.

That's not a supported method of interacting with YouTube. You need to use one of the official YouTube Player mechanisms to display YouTube videos.
Please familiarize yourself with the YouTube API Terms of Service if you have any more questions.
