You can't use the video_player plugin for playing YouTube videos. It doesn't support that. You can play videos from network but it should be video (ends with a valid extension). YouTube videos are different.

You need to use something like youtube_player_flutter, or youtube_explode_dart. You can search other plugins on pub for this as well.

    Okay thank you. These packages (what you sent) can they play videos from different url or just youtube? – sumseflut Nov 27 '20 at 14:06

    You're welcome. Those can only play youtube videos. –  Nov 27 '20 at 14:19

    I highly DO NOT recommend you use youtube_player_flutter. It does not compatible with old android versions (below 11) to give you fresh view, I do highly recommend you this one: [youtube_player_iframe](https://pub.dev/packages/youtube_player_iframe) – Nikita Shadkov Aug 10 '23 at 15:20
