Summary

Videos do not play, and are just linked - This is due partially to awkward compatibility issues between Android iOS and Youtube, and partially due to YouTube users not enabling embedding on their videos. Not as simple as one would hope and may require preliminary research to determine the best approach. Third party libs exist but perhaps something would need to be done in-house with lazy loading to streamline to process.

Steps to reproduce

If you need to reproduce, embed a video and check it out in React native.

Platform information

Any React Native - different solutions may have differing levels of success on Android and iOS.

App version

v3.1

What is the current bug behavior?

Currently, YouTube videos are simply linked to on the mobile app and open the default browser or YouTube app if it's installed.

What is the expected correct behavior?

They should be playable directly within app.
