Hey all
I was wondering what would I need to do to use YouTube on my site. Id like to allow users to post clips on their profiles. Would I need permission from youtube? do I need to get some kind of agreement? Or do I have to pay for it to use it.
And say if I can use them, is there any special scripts that I need to implement or just the html tags that they provide with the clips are sufficent for displaying the clips???
much apprishiated for any information

I thought YouTube allowed people to use their services to do this. They provide the necessary markup, and you just plug it in and you can broadcast YouTube movies wherever you'd like.

YouTube gives you a line of HTML code for every movie. If you want to stream a YouTube movie from your own site, you simply insert the line of HTML code into your HTML, and the movie is now placed on your site :)

You can probably edit it just by changing the height width parameters within the line of HTML code they give you. No permissions are required of which I'm aware.

I guess that's Youtube idea, to let users share their videos. BTW, there is a feature on YouTube that allow users to disallow embedding of their videos on other sites, so you won't be able to embedd videos from some of the users.

is there a way for outside to know which ones are allowed and whichones are not? like is it the ones that are allowed has the embed html tags with it and the ones that are not allowed dont have the tags with them?

I just embed the videos, and when they are not allowed a text will be displayed, something like "this user has disallowed embedding". So then I know ;)
