    If I embed a Google vid on my website, does it use my bandwidth, Google's, or both?

    Is the actual video on your site? Of course not!!!

    It's exactly as if you hot linked an image from some one elses server. It's not on your server, so it can't use up your bandwidth!!!

    Exactly^, the only bandwidth you would use is a few kb & that's just because the user loads your page, the bandwidth for viewing the video by your users would be Googles bandwidth...
