YouTube Video Support Coming To WhatsApp Directly

A brand new feature is coming to whatsapp that will allow you embed YouTube videos directly to the app so that you and your contacts can view it without opening YouTube app for playback.
Whatsapp YouTube video
This interesting feature will be added directly within the chat window, eliminating the need for the app to launch the YouTube app for playback.

The feature enables playback to be launched in a picture-in-picture window, while also offering functionalities like pinch-to-zoom, full screen view mode, and hide ongoing playback to continue reading messages in chat.

Meanwhile, once you switch to chat with another person, the playback will stop. For now, the feature is exclusively available on iOS, with supported devices including the iPhone 6 and above. No such tests have been noticed on the app's Android and Windows Phone clients.

If testing goes fine, Android users will be able to enjoy WhatsApp's new in-app YouTube playback soon. ref

    This would definitely increase the number if views but I don't think YouTubers can earn money through this because WhatsApp does not support ad display

    This will be a welcome development and the new owner of Whatsapp is really taking whatsapp to a new level which its previous owner couldn't do it.

    When this feature is eventually rolled out, those using gbwhatsapp will be left out on this for a while.

    Thanks for sharing this information with us
