I would like video files recorded using Glide’s filepicker to be passed over to Youtube (or Vimeo).
I assume Zapier will play a role.
Make and Zapier both provide integrations for YouTube. What you would want to do looks like this:
- Assuming you have a form for creating new rows with video files, add a custom action for on-submit action section.
- Go to your Make/Zapier scenario, add a webhook step at the start and copy the webhook link.
- Go back to Glide, in your custom action, add a Trigger Webhook step. Paste the link of the webhook to that step, and configure the column values you need to pass through. You would need at least the video link from Glide, the rowID, and maybe the video title as well.
- Go back to Make/Zapier, add a YouTube step to upload that link to your YouTube account, and finally a step to write the YouTube link back to Glide, using the rowID you passed through as an identifier.

Wow…make sense…will try, Thanks (again)
@ThinhDinh, is there a limit on the number of videos and the size of files uploaded per day from Youtube if you go this way?
I have just checked and there are none as far as I can see that would affect the functionality …but I may be able to overcome any limitations by running with multiple YouTube accounts

How do you manage the many YouTube accounts in your form?
Projects that enable the YouTube Data API have a default quota allocation of 10,000 units per day, an amount sufficient for the majority of our API users.
Full list of which actions cost how many ops is here.
Looks like video insert is 1,600, so that caps you at 5 videos per day.
For file size:

It seems similar to a web app, except the file size is 50MB larger. Regarding quota issues, I once submitted a request to YouTube and received permission for more than 100 videos per day. The main problem is that the upload process has to queue and cannot be done in parallel.
Thanks
