reactjs - Question about recording, hosting, and viewing videos from a React web app, with a Django backend

Question

I'm working on the backend of a React web app, developed in Django (and Django Rest Framework). For sake of abstraction, the application is more or less an exercise app, where a trainer can record a trainee's exercises on their phone for the trainee to review at a later time. I am just lost as to how I would accomplish this and was hoping for some recommendations of technologies or methods that I should start looking into.

My main questions are:

• Is there a React library or toolkit that might help with the recording process?

• and what kind of storage should I use for the videos so they can be easily stored and streamed?

Some people have suggested using YouTube, but I am wary of this as the videos will be of a personal nature, and having the videos played back to the trainee in a youtube player might make the trainees uncomfortable.

Thank you all for your help!
