The following services and features help developers to add YouTube functionality
to their Android apps.
YouTube IFrame Player API
The YouTube IFrame Player API
lets you incorporate video playback functionality into your Android
applications. The API defines methods for loading and playing YouTube videos
(and playlists) and for customizing and controlling the video playback
experience.
Note: The
YouTube Android Player API is no longer
supported or maintained by YouTube. This SDK should not be used, due to
security vulnerabilities.
It will be fully deprecated on or after May 1, 2023.
Android Live Streaming
The YouTube Mobile Live deep link enables Android applications to initiate a YouTube live stream directly from a mobile device. An app only needs to provide an entry point, such as a button that the user can click, that starts the Mobile Live flow via the Android Intent mechanism.
