Is there forum software that allows a) can only view if a user, user registration requires admin approval of account, and b) videos can be uploaded directly to the forum (don't have to post to youtube or something and link)?

  • youtube-clone-nodejs-api

    VueTube is a YouTube clone built with nodejs, expressjs & mongodb. This is the RESTful API repository.

  • You can keep video separately for example by utilizing your own youtube by self hosting VueTube or simply use peertube for video while keep communication part by utilizing either some forum software or mattermost or matrix

  • Zusam

    Private groups to share messages, photos, videos, links with friends and family.

  • I actually came across Zusam which does video processing to some extent, so I'm thinking I'll take a closer look at that and see whether it does any downsizing or at least embeds it (all the forums I've tried so far just attach a video as a file attachment, and you download to view).
