Video streaming
An online video platform (OVP), provided by a video hosting service, enables users to upload, convert, store and play back video content on the Internet, often via a structured, large-scale system that may generate revenue. Users generally will upload video content via the hosting service's website, mobile or desktop application, or other interface (API). The type of video content uploaded might be anything from shorts to full-length TV shows and movies. The video host stores the video on its server and offers users the ability to enable different types of embed codes or links that allow others to view the video content. The website, mainly used as the video hosting website, is usually called the video sharing website.
To be consider a "social media", the website content must be generated by users and contains a comment section directly hosted on the website.
For example a website don't fit the definition of a social media if it only hosts videos and a third party software, Disqus, is used for the comment section.
