What popular video hosting services to people use?

Hi,

I'm looking for a video hosting service that I can put behind my sites authentication. Our use case is we have clients that want to be able to publish videos to our site but only selected people can view them. I don't want to host the videos on our servers.

I've done some digging and there doesn't seem to be a service that I can just drop in and hit an api. Kind of like how Algolia works.

All the big video hosting guys such as youtube don't seem to have a fully private solution.

@hdifen Vimeo allows you to restrict videos to play back on white-listed domains only. Amazon also allows you to upload and only allow access from specific IPs or using a signed URL.
