    If you just embed a youtube video, I don't think you need a video streaming host. The bandwidth is also borne by youtube.

    No, you will be using YouTube's bandwidth, not yours.

    You don't need a host. Besides, it will not use your bandwidth.

    Not at all !

    Youtube is streaming that videos on your sites or blog, So that u r embading the links.
    Don,t get panic to think about that.

    OF COURSE....the answer is no..you will only using your bandwith if someone view your site, not your video..

    Youtube or other Video host will provide you the video and they will use their bandwith for sure..don't be worry.. :D

    If the video is hosted on Youtube, the bandwidth is also from Youtube.
    The only thing you do is embed the video, right? ;)

    Hello:

    You don't need a hosting service to have that video embedded on your website. You will use your bandwidth only when people are accessing your blog and watch the videos. You can have a look on this article to see how videos look on a blog in HD quality which YouTube is trying to implement now: http://www.thehdstandard.com/hd-broadcaster/

    youtube will not take up your bandwidth and with regards to your blog, if it is a free one, it own't take up your bandwith too.. so no worries there..

    You will not lose bandwidth when you embed videos from YouTube.
    The video will use the bandwidth of YouTube.
