Additional Requirement for the Video App

If you want to allow users to upload videos from their computer, your server must be able to encode / transcode videos so that they can be displayed on your website properly. So:

You can either use the Zencoder video encoding service
OR you must have FFMPEG installed on your server. Be aware that video encoding/transcoding is a CPU-intension task and can take a long time to run, you should only install it on a dedicated environment such as a dedicated server. If you are using Shared Hosting or VPS / Cloud Hosting environments, be sure to check with your hosting provider to see if they allow this encoding task.
