How to embed YouTube video on iOS and play it directly on UIWebView without full screen?

If anyone is still facing this problem, below is by far the best solution I have seen. Works like a charm.

self.webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10,300, 200)];
        [self.webView setAllowsInlineMediaPlayback:YES];
        [self.webView setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction:NO];

        [self.view addSubview:self.webView];

        NSString* embedHTML = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\
                               <html>\
                                    <body style='margin:0px;padding:0px;'>\
                                        <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/iframe_api'></script>\
                                        <script type='text/javascript'>\
                                            function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady()\
                                            {\
                                                ytplayer=new YT.Player('playerId',{events:{onReady:onPlayerReady}})\
                                            }\
                                            function onPlayerReady(a)\
                                            { \
                                                a.target.playVideo(); \
                                            }\
                                        </script>\
                                        <iframe id='playerId' type='text/html' width='%d' height='%d' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/%@?enablejsapi=1&rel=0&playsinline=1&autoplay=1' frameborder='0'>\
                                    </body>\
                               </html>", 300, 200, @"JW5meKfy3fY"];
        [self.webView loadHTMLString:embedHTML baseURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourceURL]];

Can I play a youtube video in a UIWebView inline (not fullscreen)?

Yes you can, you need to set property on UIWebView

 webView.allowsInlineMediaPlayback=YES;

And you need to add &playsinline=1 to YouTube iframe embedding code.

 <iframe webkit-playsinline width="200" height="200" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GOiIxqcbzyM?feature=player_detailpage&playsinline=1" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Tested on iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.2 works like a charm.

How to play Youtube Video from a browser app on non full screen in Objective C

Does you project have Controller named MainViewController , that controller should have issue with YTPlayerView, please check for this view in your view controller.

in most of the cases it will not defined in the class you have directly use in the code

Searching for the issue in your code i found a property of UIWebview which will help you in playing video inline setAllowsInlineMediaPlayback

With help of this you can directly play the youtube video in the webview,
Here is code sample which you can use to play youtube video

 NSString *strVideoId = @"M7lc1UVf-VE";
 NSString *videoURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://www.youtube.com/embed/%@?feature=player_detailpage&playsinline=1",strVideoId];

 NSString* embedHTML = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\
                           <html><head>\
                           <style type=\"text/css\">\
                           iframe {position:absolute; top:50%%; margin-top:-130px;}\
                           body {\
                           background-color: transparent;\
                           color: white;\
                           }\
                           </style>\
                           </head><body style=\"margin:0\">\
                           <iframe width=\"100%%\" height=\"240px\" src=\"%@\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>\
                           </body></html>",videoURL];

[self.mainwebview setAllowsInlineMediaPlayback:true];
[self.view addSubview:self.mainwebview];
[self.mainwebview loadHTMLString:embedHTML baseURL:nil];

In this code you can pass any video id which you were passing in the loadWithVideoId of YTPlayerView

To change the width/height you can make change in the width=\"100%%\" height=\"240px\" portion of the iframe

It is working for me in the iPhone also which is looking like this:
iframe youtube play in iPhone
Another reference the setAllowsInlineMediaPlayback working in iPhone: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15189889/4557505

The image which you shown in the screenshot looks like particular video issue
Note This code does not require YTPlayerView so if this code works for you, you can remove the YTPlayerView from your project if this is not used anywhere else

Update Some video not playing:
I think this issue has not nothing to do with the specific implementation as for me it's not working in browser(with embed Url which we are setting in iFrame) or YTPlayerview also

But till than i check and may be find some issue in implementation and as you have mentioned:

Yes all videos worked on YTPlayerView. These videos work on normal
full screen mode but not with embedded player

If you want to make implementation in the YTPlayerview you can check the following code:

NSString *strVideoId = @"3bMYgo_S0Kc";
self.playerView = [[YTPlayerView alloc]init];
self.playerView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,self.view.frame.size.width,self.view.frame.size.height/2);
[self.playerView loadWithVideoId:strVideoId playerVars:@{@"playsinline":@1}];
[_mainwebview addSubview:self.playerView];
[self.mainwebview setAllowsInlineMediaPlayback:true];
[self.view addSubview:self.mainwebview];

In the loadWithVideoId we can provide the inline parameter which can solve the problem of full screen and this may work for you on the iPhone also

Note this video is not working on YTPlayer or in browser(embedded url) for me but based on your comment you can try this

How to play a youtube video on iphone, not in fullscreen

Use this code for adding the you tube into your application.

For this you need to setup a webview in your view.
Then call the loadHTMLString:baseURL: method on the UIWebView instance with some carefully constructed HTML that contains the YouTube embedded player code snippet and some supporting HTML to make sure that the video thumbnail appears correctly. Set the base URL to the URL of your website (it doesn't do anything here -- ordinarily UIWebView uses it to handle relative URL links correctly).

NSString *youTube = @"<html><head>
<meta name = \"viewport\" content = \"initial-scale = 1.0, user-scalable = no, width = 212\"/></head>
<body style=\"background:#F00;margin-top:0px;margin-left:0px\">
<div><object width=\"212\" height=\"172\">
<param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/oHg5SJYRHA0&f=gdata_videos&c=ytapi-my-clientID&d=nGF83uyVrg8eD4rfEkk22mDOl3qUImVMV6ramM\"></param>
<param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"></param>
<embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/oHg5SJYRHA0&f=gdata_videos&c=ytapi-my-clientID&d=nGF83uyVrg8eD4rfEkk22mDOl3qUImVMV6ramM\"
type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"212\" height=\"172\"></embed>
</object></div></body></html>";

[webView loadHTMLString:youTube baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.your-url.com"]];

Disable full screen youtube video display using UIWebView on iPhone

You can't, the YouTube video player on the iPhone will always go full screen.

If you can get the URL of H264 version on you tube you can use the Media Player framework for playback.

Embedded videos inside UIWebView dont fit the bounds of full screen, only on iOS10

if on iOS 10，use wkwebview，otherwise uiwebview，if else solve it
