Exploring youtube's API and I cannot tell if it's possible to upload videos of users into the site's youtube channel directly.
I did manage to upload a video to youtube but that video would be uploaded under the uploader rather than the sites channel.
used this question:
Video Upload In Youtube APi using Javascript
The answer is in the documentation you linked to:
The onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter specifies the YouTube
channel ID of the channel to which a video is being added
Unfortunately, it also points out:
Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content
partners.
The criteria for becoming a "content partner" is available in this overview of the program.

This discord.js bot which has a music command, it has a sub-command 'download' to download the .mp3 file of the YouTube link provided. Now, of course, I've done my research about converting and downloading YouTube videos to mp3 files. I found out it is illegal to download copyrighted content, but it is legal to download non-copyrighted content.
So, before actually downloading the .mp3 file, I'd like to check if the video is claimed by any copyright groups (like Warner Music, etc). I've checked many other similar questions and most seem to be pointing to the licensedContent boolean, which is NOT the answer I want. NCS (NoCopyrightSounds, a youtube channel which provides copyright free music) has their videos licensedContent set to true, but their videos are allowed to be downloaded.
I've looked a bit of the official YouTube API v3, but found nothing that could lead to the result I want. Is there a way to detect this?
What licensedContent property actually stands for is:
Indicates whether the video represents licensed content, which means
that the content was uploaded to a channel linked to a YouTube content
partner and then claimed by that partner.
This is also the only property returned from the v3 which would suggest any copyrights laws associated with the media.
When you refer to NCS Music, if you read the description posted on their music videos you'll find couple of disclaimers.
Firstly:
© NCS releases are free to be used and monetised in user-generated
content (UGC) made by independent content creators in video content on
YouTube & Twitch, without the fear of copyright claims.
And right at the bottom you'll find the following disclaimer:
If you're a brand or a commercial organisation interested in using NCS
music anywhere else, get in touch at
licensing[at]nocopyrightsounds.co.uk
As you can see, the content is indeed copyrighted therefore if you intended to use their videos on your download page, you'd need to contact them first.

there are two kind of videos in youtube, one is "Live broadcast" and the other is not.
I can get the direct file link of none live broadcast video and streaming on my iphone but the "Live broadcast" is not working.
there is a picture of "Live broadcast" on youtube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-VrwrEntWY)
I have used js(parse the url to get direct file's url) with JSContext(objective-c) to do the streaming on my ios app.
Please help me out here, I need a js example which can really parse the "Live broadcast" video of youtube, or
is there a better way of doing this?
I would love to know if anyone got some experience on Youtube API's?
Cause i've been wondering if it's possible to embed an youtube video with HTML5 parameters, changing the player to the Browser default player!
Thanks for the support!
While this is technically possible (see for example the YouTube downloader browser plugins that generate a proper link/URL for you), it most probably violates the YouTube API Terms of Service:
II. Prohibitions
Your API Client will not, and You will not encourage or create functionality for Your users or other third parties to:
...
access any portion of any YouTube audiovisual content by any means other than use of a YouTube player or other video player expressly authorized by YouTube;
https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms
I need to integrate a third-party video API solution into my web application that I'm building using JavaScript in the front-end and Java in the back-end. Using the API, I will need the following:
Upload videos to third-party service
Right after the video is uploaded, the API should callback my app and pass the video ID or URL (important!)
Display the videos using the provided URL
I have tried the YouTube API, but it seems that videos are uploaded to a single playlist per app and then the app can query all videos submitted to its playlist. The API doesn't provide my app with the video URL right after an upload and therefore it is not possible for me to determine which local user uploaded which YouTube video.
Is there a third-party video service provider that provides for all of the above-stated requirements?
(Vimeo, Metacafe, Dailymotion, Break.com, Flickr Video?)
YouTube don't provides an upload callback, but you can use polling to verify if the state of the video uploaded is no longer 'processing'
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_checking_video_status
To identify the local user maybe you can use "developer tags":
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_uploading_videos
When you upload a video, you can associate that video with one of YouTube's video categories. You can also associate the video with additional keywords, or developer tags, that you use to identify the video. By using developer tags, you can identify all of the videos uploaded through your website or even through specific areas of your website. YouTube will not display developer tags to YouTube users; however, you can retrieve or update videos that match a specific developer tag.
And then, you can retrieve the video id, and the video url, using search by developer tags
does anyone know if is it possible to render an audio waveform from a video playing in a youtube player using Javascript?
Thank you!
On the client side, it's not possible to isolate the audio from the video data.
You would need to get the raw audio data to be able to then process it with the WebAudio API (e.g. display it).
There are some server-side solutions (extracting audio from video, sending it back etc.), but that's not legal, as it's written in the TOS of youtube:
(https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms?hl=fr)
You are not allowed to:
separate, isolate, or modify the audio or video components of any YouTube >audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API;
promote separately the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual >content made available through the YouTube API;
See this questions for more details:
Is there a Youtube API that gives only audio?
