I'm taking a course online that shows how to play videos from a url. But it's always the bunny one. I've been looking how to play YouTube videos, been finding that they use to use UIWebView. Since it's been deprecated, how would I be able to play them now. This is how my code looks like.

import UIKit
import AVKit
import AVFoundation

class CourseDetailVC: UIViewController {
 @IBOutlet weak var descriptionTextView: UITextView!
 @IBOutlet weak var titleLabel: UILabel!
 @IBOutlet weak var authorButton: UIButton!
 @IBOutlet weak var backgroundImage: UIImageView!

 var course: Courses.Course?

 @IBAction func playURLVideo() 
 guard let videoURL = URL(string: course?.videoUrl ?? "") else return 
 let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
 let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
 playerViewController.player = player
 self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) 
 playerViewController.player!.play()
 
 

I just have a button. When I press it I would like to play a YouTube video. Now this works with the bunny one. How would I be able to play this YouTube video.

Screenshot after button is press

Updated Code

 @IBAction func playButtonPress() 
 // Create Video player
 var mywkwebview: WKWebView?
 let mywkwebviewConfig = WKWebViewConfiguration()

 mywkwebviewConfig.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true
 mywkwebview = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame, configuration: mywkwebviewConfig)

 let myURL = URL(string: "https://www.youtube.com/embed/JePnQ1gSagc?playsinline=1?autoplay=1")
 let youtubeRequest = URLRequest(url: myURL!)

 mywkwebview?.load(youtubeRequest)

 guard let webView = mywkwebview else return 
 self.view.addSubview(webView)

Here's a solution to WKWebView

Since YouTube has functionality to load any video in fullscreen in a webview without any of the scrolling features using a URL in the format https://www.youtube.com/embed/<videoId>.

The given video above has an ID of (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1roy4o4tqQM) -- [1roy4o4tqQM]

mywkwebviewConfig.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true
mywkwebview = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame, configuration: mywkwebviewConfig)
let myURL = URL(string: "https://www.youtube.com/embed/1roy4o4tqQM?playsinline=1?autoplay=1")
var youtubeRequest = URLRequest(url: myURL!)
mywkwebview.load(youtubeRequest)

Updated code:

@IBAction func playURLVideo() 

 var mywkwebview: WKWebView?
 let mywkwebviewConfig = WKWebViewConfiguration()

 mywkwebviewConfig.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true
 mywkwebview = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame, configuration: mywkwebviewConfig)

 let myURL = URL(string: "https://www.youtube.com/embed/1roy4o4tqQM?playsinline=1?autoplay=1")
 var youtubeRequest = URLRequest(url: myURL!)

 mywkwebview.load(youtubeRequest)

You need to add ?autoplay=1 to the end of the embed URL
