Introducing the Video Upload module for Drupal

by Jonathan Hedstrom
April 23, 2008

The Video Upload module, while in alpha state, provides a CCK field type that allows for the end user to upload video directly to YouTube, using a single account for the site.

The video never hits the Drupal host, saving on storage and bandwidth bottlenecks, and the end-user doesn't need a YouTube account, since all video is stored under the site's account. Video can be organized on YouTube with customized developer tags, currently with limited token support.

The module uses the Zend GData client library for communication with YouTube. This can be downloaded here. See Video Upload's INSTALL.txt for details on installing this library.

The module in extreme alpha state, with nightly builds available here.
