Would like to host some videos of my own to watch on my devices, just
personal videos, and keep the last watched spot etc. just like a
regular video streaming platform

Good day. Noob here. I essentially want to set up for myself, the
video equivalent of this feature on YouTube Music: You are able to
upload your own music onto your account, then you can access it using
any of the YouTube Music apps. Podcast episodes (it seems it's just
any audio file that's long enough) even have the last position you
listened to stored when you reopen it later.

How can I set this up for myself for some video podcasts I'd like to
watch across my devices? Thank you

Maybe look into peertube. A bit overkill but possible would also be
jellyfin or plex

for the simplest that keeps track of where you are on a single device,
most networked players can do something like that. Then all you need
is a file share and the device with a player. I use a NAS that has a
"public" file share with media and MX player on my AndroidTV device
and it will do what you are asking. Then if I want to switch to a
different device, I just FF or RW to get to my spot.

To have some sort of "follow me" playback memory would require
something along the lines of Jellyfin/Plex or other media player
environment.

Now if you have legal videos that you own, you could use Youtube to
upload and not share, and then just playback on whatever device like
you described for YT music. But uploading video files does take a bit
more bandwidth, but it will do exactly what you are asking, just not
for items that you don't own copyright on.
