It works for Android Try this

import React from 'react';
import {NativeModules, Button} from 'react-native';

const App = () => {
  const SendIntentAndroid = NativeModules?.SendIntentAndroid || {};

  const onPress = () => {
    SendIntentAndroid?.openAppWithData(
       null,                                        // Package name
      'https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4', // uri
      'video/*',                                    // mime/type
      {},                                           // extras
    );
  };
  return <Button onPress={onPress} title={'Open video playback'} />;
};

export default App;
