Is it possible to create a site to which people can upload video files?

[Lloydie J]

Hello. I belong to a small filmmaking group. In the past, we've had a YouTube channel to which members could upload their short films for group viewing at meetings. Becasue YouTube has become more strict in their copyright restrictions, and becasue the videos can easily be downloaded by others not in the group, we're wondering if we could create a site that we could use for members to upload their movie files and the group woould have control over who can access the site (I'm guessing by using a password or series of passwords). I have Dreamweaver CC...and used Dreamweaver in the past...but haven't created a website in 13-14 years, so I'm not familiar with the capabilities anymore. If someone can just tell me if this is possible without too much coding, then I think I'll be able to tackle it, but I won't bother if it's not possible.

Thank you,

Lloyd

Make the video unlisted

And create a video gallery that can be reached by people that are logged in.

Building this yourself would be very costly.  If you have to ask how much, you probably can't afford it.

1. Backend & front end coding (you'll need to hire an experienced programmer),
2. Member sign-up, log-in sessions, provisions for lost passwords, etc...
3. Security & Privacy,
4. Web hosting that permits video uploads,
5. Bandwidth,
6. Streaming media server,
7. Legal counsel & liability insurance.
