What GCP service(s) can be used to stream video on demand?

Question

I am trying to make a website like YouTube. I am looking for a Google Cloud Platform equivalent of Video on Demand on Amazon Web Services if it exists

Answer 1

I believe the Google answer is to store video in a Google Drive. You can write new files to Google Drive using API. If you upload one of the supported formats, it will be processed ready for playing.

Supported formats are:

• WebM files (Vp8 video codec; Vorbis Audio codec)
• MPEG4, 3GPP, and MOV files (h264 and MPEG4 video codecs; AAC audio codec)
• AVI (MJPEG video codec; PCM audio)
• MPEGPS (MPEG2 video codec; MP2 audio)
• WMV
• FLV (Adobe - FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)
• MTS
• OGG
