For static video you pretty much just need to serve it in a format browsers support with the correct MIME types, and make sure you have enough bandwidth.

Where it gets hairy is when you want to do live streaming…

Any suggested tech stack for this? I posted a similar question to this recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34384732

a $5 vps running any webserver and an sftp client on your phone will do.

This really doesn't work very well for a great many users.

You can have all the bandwidth in the world, but the magic that Youtube does is mainly dealing with the users' bandwidth, for example, it switches video resolution on the fly when it notices that frames are going to have to be dropped soon.

If only browsers would natively support adaptive quality video streaming. Perhaps we should ask the biggest browser vendor to implement that, surely they won't have any conflict of interest there.
