Youtube Post

Question

Can I record video directly on Youtube? Let's say I have a website, can I have a recording function and use some kind of Youtube API that will have the final video hosted on Youtube?

Found download API but not streaming download.

Thank you Tee

Answer 1

watch this video: 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 this is possible with some flash

Another approach is to save locally and then download.

Answer 3

The web interface described by jao is now located at https://www.youtube.com/my_webcam

But this is just a web interface, and you asked for an API that your site can use.

The solution for you is probably the YouTube Live Broadcast API . You may still have to use some kind of flash library to capture the stream from the webcam and send it to the API.
