Create a Mini YouTube-Style Website (Beginner Tutorial)

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a small but beautiful website that works like a mini YouTube player. The special thing about this website is:

  • Users can choose videos from their mobile
  • Video plays inside your website
  • No upload to server (full privacy + no hosting cost)

This tutorial is perfect for beginners because I will explain everything step-by-step: HTML → CSS → JavaScript → How the code works.

🔧 How This Website Works

We create:

  • An input button to select video
  • A video player to play the selected video
  • JavaScript that turns the selected file into a temporary video URL

This is possible using: URL.createObjectURL() It allows the browser to play files stored on the user’s phone.

📘 Beginner-Friendly Code Explanation

1. HTML Structure

The HTML contains:

  • Title
  • Container box
  • Upload button
  • Video player

2. CSS Styling

We style the page to look clean and modern: Rounded corners, shadows, centered layout, red button like YouTube style.

3. JavaScript Logic

This is the part that runs when the user selects a video: 

const videoURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
player.src = videoURL;
player.play();

This tells the browser:

  • “Take this file from the device…”
  • “…turn it into a video link…”
  • “…and play it in the video player.”

No uploading. No server. Full privacy.
