title: Free video streaming platforms
body: <p>I'm trying to build a website that will allow user to upload video files and show them as a streaming video.</p>
  
  <p>I'm a complete newbie in the streaming world so I don't know exactly how to do that, and I definitely don't want to reinvent the wheel. </p>
  
  <p>Are there any free platforms that I can use for that? Do I need a streaming server, or is there a special kind of player I can use that does not require dedicated server?</p>
