I evaluated a chess position with the help of seeing this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3su1RGtmfcw 
Is it cheating? I didnt used any engines ect.    
But still some people are still saying I am CHEATING

Live chess or over-the-board event in person, then yes this is probably cheating to watch this video mid-game. If correspondence/chess.com Daily chess, then no it isn't cheating. As long as the source (video, opening database, book etc.) does not have engine evaluations, then you are fine.

Obviously, in-person over-the-board is most strict, then live chess and Daily is the most flexible.

In a vote chess game, I evaluated position and told, will it be cheating?

No. Vote chess is in the "Daily" chess format. Furthermore, everyone on the team can discuss together when normal chess might consider that cheating (Kibizing). Watching that @gothamchess video mid-vote chess game and implementing isn't evaluations strategies is NOT cheating. It is learning how to think for yourself in any given chess position and what we all want happy.png Cheating would be something like putting the position into Stockfish.
