I am not sure if i am asking this correctly or the terminology are correct but it is according to my understanding. I am developing a video hosting website and i want my users to share those videos to social network and may be embed them on their website. What i like is when they share those videos, in their feed they should be able to play those videos without leaving the their current social networks, its just like youtube, when i share videos on twitter or facebook i can play youtube videos from there without opening the youtube site. Where should i look into to build such widget ? How do i create such?
Make sure that the pages the videos reside on that are shared contain valid and correct OpenGraph tags.

I'm currently building an app in Flutter.
I'm using a package called "youtube_player_flutter" to put other people's Youtube videos in my app.
Does "placing videos in the app with youtube_player_flutter" mean "embedded videos" as Youtube calls them?
I'm talking about copyright-related issues.
Is it the same as embedding a video in a website?
Youtube allows embedding of other people's videos, so as long as the owner (uploader) of the video allows embedding, others can embed without permission.
(If the owner doesn't allow the embedding, others can't embed.)
Is it safe to assume that placing a Youtube video in an app (using youtube_player_flutter) is the same as embedding it in a website?
Well, of course, in that case, if the video owner deletes the video, the corresponding embedded video in my app will also become unwatchable.
You need the api for videos obviously. And youtube providing thier api to open developers to use. you just need an api key for that.
go and follow the api doc with legal procedure, there will be no copyright issues. youtube api doc
I need some help to get list of videos which is downloaded(or taken offline) by a user.
Does YouTube Rest API provide us any API to get list of saved video?
AFAIK, you will not be able to list offline videos from other users, even your own offline videos. This stack exchange post discussed the reason.
Those "offline" videos can only be played using official YouTube App,
and those videos simply can not be played using any other Video/Media
player application.
YouTube (means Google) controls the access to the offline file.
The permission is controlled on their server to access those
downloaded files and Since they are part of specific device, you
cannot access/view those using Google Account, from another device.
But if you want to list videos in youtube api, you can refer to this documentation.
I'm looking for an approach to an interactive installation.
We will dispose several tablets on a wall from where we want to show some videos.
We would like to launch those videos depending on social media reactions, such as a "Like" on Facebook or a hashtag on Twitter (for example).
That means,for instance, when you like some specific content on Facebook, a video is played (but not a Facebook video; content can be stored wherever).
Any direction to start research?
Thanks in advance!
I am currently developing a new website / facebook app for an online magic competition. I am hoping most of the functionality can come from Facebook's own services, and would like your feedback on how plausible our goals are.
Essentially there will be two types of users: magicians and voters. Magicians will upload a video of them performing a trick (or select a video they have already uploaded). Voters will vote for their favourite magicians, and be able to post these videos to their wall.
Are these possible:
Video upload to Facebook - I have had a search, but the only method I found uses the depreciated REST API. Is there a newer implementation?
Video download - After a user has uploaded a video are they (or can we) able to download their video from Facebook?
Embedding magicians Facebook videos on the standalone website?
Thank you in advance
You can still upload videos and photos using the graph api. We have done this into galleries for a number of clients.
see here for a picture example (works with other media objects such as videos):
Is it possible to post a status update and adding an image file with facebook graph API?
The problems you may face though are the issues of managing and approving content in the site.
One solution we have found is to combine YouTube API and Facebook to get the best of both worlds. you can now embed a YouTube uploader in your site / app which will post videos into a channel of yours but have an approval app to control what lands. Then add any voting mechanism of your choice to the stream of videos. You can use YouTube likes, Facebook likes or your own. Take a look at this video:

You can embed a YouTube channel into Facebook easily too:

Also using youtube, you can spread your net farther to reach more of an audience.
Hope this can be of some help. (No, I don't work for YouTube just find using more than one platform better)
I have built an audio sharing application (pretty similar to soundcloud.com, but focused on a niche and just one country). I'd like to enable people to hear the tracks directly from Facebook, like they can do it with eg. Spotify.
I am having a trouble with getting development docs on how to do that.
Cheers,
Pablox
Deep-integration with Facebook (such as Spotify have done) is done via the Open Graph APIs, the beta documentation is covered here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph
If you just want users to be able to embed a player in posts/likes of your content, any app can do this with the use of meta tags on the pages, and this is covered under 'Attaching Audio and Video Data' on the Open Graph documentation
