Schema markup for videos: Are video schema tags only for use on video hosted by a site or do they also apply to embedded videos hosted on YouTube?

We do not currently have a native video hosting solution for our site and instead embed videos that are hosted on YouTube. Can video schema markup be used for YouTube hosted video?

Thank you.

I would not use YoutTube personally, check out what google have to say here https://developers.google.com/webmasters/videosearch/ 

And this is also a decent guide on how to get video into search(also explains about securing your video content): http://www.distilled.net/blog/video/getting-video-results-in-google/ 

Hope that helps,
