Ok i wanna do a simple question but i do not know if it comes also with a simple answer.. I will ask the simplest scenario that derives from this question... How can i "put" a video in a html page(site) from my pc or server that can be watched by everyone. I dont want to embed a youtube video in the site but i want that video to be "embed" from my server or pc. What im actually asking is how to make a site like youtube(remove the part that users can upload videos) that has videos and are being "streamed"(i think thats the word) directly from youtube servers.

Given your file tree looks like this :
index.html -- The web page you're serving
media/
media/bunny.mp4 -- Your video file
media/bunny.jpg -- [optional] A cover picture while the use plays the video.
And in index.html
<video src="media/bunny.mp4" width="400" height="222" controls poster="media/bunny.jpg"></video>
But if you're searching for an alternative where the user can't download the file (and that is a requirement even Youtube doesn't fulfil), you can read this post HTML5 live streaming Or simply use a ready solution like Plex Media Server
