I’m trying to start a new social network website and I’m wandering if it is possible to upload users videos to youtube and pictures to google plus and show them in my website so that I avoid the pricey hosting of media, if it is possible then why I see developers complain about hosting media??? is there a problem with this idea??
Certainly you can embed this media in your own website if it has already been uploaded to these services.
I’m not sure whether they can be uploaded there via your site, there may be an API for that, but I never looked into it.
