I am still relatively new to these topics. I am programming my app in Flutter and I can already use Flutter to play a foreign video from Youtube in the app.

I want to upload in Youtube all my video resources as private to be able to display them in my app.

Is there any documentation on how to do this? What are the costs per request?

Is Youtube even right for such a mobile app?` I was going to use Firebase cloud storage, but think that can get very expensive once I release the app.

What other options would I have?

This question isn't really suitable for StackOverflow, since it's basically just asking whether you can use YouTube.

That being said, as long as you don't violate the T&C of YouTube and you're fine with storing all your videos on their platform, yes, you can do this. Using YouTube this way is free as of now. But note that there is a difference between "private" and "unlisted".

You can create a profile on youtube, upload as many videos as you want and list them as unlisted, meaning you can only find the video if you have the link, then in your app link the vides to whatever selection method you have. so ex I have a button when clicked launches a specific unlisted youtube url link and plays the video.

It would be the same as if someone was searching your video publicly and playing it, both are free.
