Can you let the user bring their own API key?

No. The default API quota is not large enough to upload videos. You would have to contact Google, explain your use case, and jump through several hoops to get the quota increased... which is a huge process.
I once tried using a Python library to upload videos with an API key. All videos uploaded got forced private due to "spam".
Yeah. Uploading legit videos is non-trivial. And if you ever upload the same video twice (which you think you might do during testing, right?), it's a violation of their terms and they disable your access.
