Question:

Could you clarify if there is any cost associated with utilizing the Google Video Uploader service?

Answer:

However, if you’re looking to use Google’s services for more professional or commercial purposes, such as live streaming through the Google Cloud Live Stream API, there may be associated costs. The pricing for live streaming services is based on the resources used, such as encoding and streaming rates, which are charged hourly. For example, HD resolution encoding is priced at $0.14 per hour, and streaming at $0.45 per hour for 1080p HD. These costs can add up, especially for longer or more resource-intensive streams.

It’s important to note that while the basic video uploading service is free, if your needs exceed the standard offerings – like requiring more cloud storage on Google Drive or utilizing advanced streaming services – you might incur additional costs. Always check the latest pricing details on the official Google Cloud website to ensure you have the most up-to-date information.
