I'm using BigBlueButton in my website,
the problem is:
we can't stream our videos online in BigBlueButton and all of our visitors can stop/play/... our uploaded external video for themselves.
so we are looking for a solution to display a video as a live stream.
our video is in .mp4 format.
what we are thinking to remove play/stop/... buttons from video so our clients can't stop the video and play it for them.
In the latest version of bigbluebutton that nearly would have a final release (v2.4), visitors (viewers) can't pause, stop, ... the playing video.

In my app I need the ability to take and upload or save a short 5 to 15 second video. I also need to be able to save the video if the user is offline, and upload it when connected to internet.
I can create the video file with the plugin image_picker, I tried to save it to the users gallery using plugin image_picker_saver but that seems to only handle images.
So I will probably have to use something like path_provider to save it to local storage (again examples of writing files are images as byte data)
When connected is there a way to upload a video to a Youtube account ?
I have read up on some Youtube plugins, but they are geared towards playing videos.
I was thinking of using WebViews to pop up the m.youtube.com/upload page but once you start an upload it goes to the desktop www.youtube.com
Other option to consider is using Firestore as the upload destination when they have a connection, but I would still have to manage offline local storage.
Thank you any help
Edit RE: comments below
Here is what I get when trying to capture a Landscape video on iPhone X with camera plugin:
I want to play the video simultaneously while it is downloading via unitywebrequest. Will AVPro video support this? If so please provide me some guidance, as i am new to unity and avpro video. I can able to play the video which is downloaded fully through FullscreenVideo.prefab in AVPro demo. Any help will be much appreciated.
There are two main options you could use for displaying the video while it is still downloading.
Through livestream
You can stream a video to AVPro video using the "absolute path or URL" option on the media player component, then linking this to a stream in rtsp, MPEG-DASH, HLS, or HTTP progressive streaming format. Depending on what platforms you will be targeting some of these options will work better than others
A table of which file format supports what platform can be found in the AVProVideo Usermanual that is included with AVProVideo from page 12 and onwards.
If you want to use streaming you also need to set the "internet access" option to "required" in the player settings, as a video cannot stream without internet access.
A video that is being streamed will automatically start/resume playing when enough video is buffered.
This does however require a constant internet connection which may not be ideal if you're targeting mobile devices, or unnecessary if you're planning to play videos in a loop.
HLS m3u8
HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) works by cutting the overall stream into shorter, manageable hunks of data. These chunks will then get downloaded in sequence regardless of how long the stream is. m3u8 is a file format that works with playlists that keeps information on the location of multiple media files instead of an entire video, this can then be fed into a HLS player that will play the small media files in sequence as dictated in the m3u8 file.
using this method is usefull if you're planning to play smaller videos on repeat as the user will only have to download each chunk of the video once, which you can then store for later use.
You can also make these chunks of video as long or short as you want, and set a buffer of how many chunks you want to have pre-loaded. if for example you set the chunk size to 5 seconds, with a buffer of 5 videos the only loading time you'll have is when loading the first 25 seconds of the video. once these first 5 chunks are loaded it will start playing the video and load the rest of the chunks in the background, without interrupting the video (given your internet speed can handle it)
a con to this would be that you have to convert all your videos to m3u8 yourself. a tool such as FFMPEG can help with this though.

so this is my issue. I was able to autoplay some videos which are not live stream. They are auto playing perfectly using https://github.com/Stanko/html-canvas-video-player but when I place the live stream HLS format, the video does not play, whether auto or via double tap. I would like to know how to auto play a video stream on iphone. Thanks!
iOS specifically refuses to auto play live streams. This allows the user to controll their data usage considering most people have data caps. Apple is changing this in ios10 however.
I want to download video from youtube. Then the downloaded video should saved and user can also play it in offline mode and user can also trim or edit that downloaded video.
I have searched a lot on Google and i find some answers but they didn't satisfy my question.
This question tell downloading video from youtube may reject your application is this true?
The screen shot from apple. YouTube Terms & Condition are also not allowing to download videos. Read section 5-B.
I have also try to load some examples for video downloading from youtube but they all failed for loading video MyTube , YouTube , SCBTube , PSYouTubeExtractor
Some questions related to youtube download. and for video trimming or cutting i am following this code .
is this downloading is possible or not ?
Downloading is, in some cases, possible, but it's against the YouTube T&Cs...so yeah, don't do it. Furthermore, even if you did implement this not all videos on YouTube are actually available in the appropriate H.264 format (e.g, videos which require advertising or content protection are often not available).
I have just created and iPhone web app, which has some x264 (mp4) video files on it. When I link directly to the file on the iPhone and the user taps the link, the video player is loaded and the video starts playing.
Using the app on an Android phone causes the browser to download the video instead of just playing it. Is there a way to force a video player to just boot up and play the video not download it?
Thanks in advance.
You should know that Android is quite strict regarding the video streams that you can stream. To be able to watch a stream a video (progressively watch and download) the video container must be correctly formatted.
There are many ways to create a container suitable for progressive streaming. You can look it up here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread/2a801ce5f71b5aaf?pli=1
