You cannot show video embedded except perhaps on devices that have Flash. If you can parse out the YouTube video details, you may be able to construct an ACTION_VIEW Intent that will show them on the YouTube application(for those Android devices that have the YouTube application). Also experiment with HTML5's

HTML

<video>

tag, which is supported in the Browser application and may therefore work in WebView.
