How can I transfer an uploaded video to a YouTube account automatically?

    We would like to use JotForm to collect video submissions for review.  We have several reviewers, some of whom do not have the greatest internet connections.  It would be wonderful if we could perform a transfer to a private YouTube channel automatically upon submission and avoid one person having to download the video and then upload it to YouTube so that the other reviewers could watch it online.  It would also be great if we could delete the video from your servers after it was transferred to YouTube.

    Thoughts on how to accomplish any of this? BTW, this form will ultimately be embedded in a IMCreator web site.

    Thanks

    I am sorry for the wrong answer Eliezer provided. Yes, we do have this feature:

    While I must say that the widget you referred me to looks way cool, I am not looking to upload a webcam video to Youtube.  I am looking to copy a pre-produced, uploaded video to Youtube.  

    As an aside I've found a pretty satisfactory workaround.  We will integrate with Dropbox or Google docs so that our reviewers can watch the video online.  The main concerns were that they wouldn't have to download the video to their local machine and someone wouldn't have to download the video and then upload it again for those with slow connections to review online.

    The integration with the cloud service solves this problem, but requires that we purchase an additional service.  If you guys had the ability to view uploaded media online (video, audio, pdf, etc.) that would solve the problem without the need for the dditional subscription.  In order to reduce cost someone will be deleting the submissions from your server as quickly as possible because we have to pay for the additional service.  If we could view uploaded media on your service we would keep the submissions on your server and pay you for increased storage.  So the streaming feature wouldn't just make our workflow simpler, it would also help you to generate more data on your servers creating more revenue for you.  Just a thought.

    @shoresh 

    Thanks for clarifying the feature you're looking for and we greatly appreciate your feedback.

    Since we currently do not have this feature available on the widgets, I have raised this as a feature request for a consideration. We cannot provide you any ETA for this but we will surely update you via this thread once this is added to Jotform.

    Best Regards!

    Uploading a video to YouTube is exactly what I'm looking for. However, when I tried aytekin's link, I got "Application Not Found". Help!
