After a long search, I found this way of implementation.

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.about_fragment, container, false);

    String frameVideo = "<html><body><br><iframe width=\"320\" height=\"200\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/XDYbEuY8nIc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe></body></html>";

    WebView displayYoutubeVideo = (WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
    displayYoutubeVideo.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            return false;
        }
    });
    WebSettings webSettings = displayYoutubeVideo.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    displayYoutubeVideo.loadData(frameVideo, "text/html", "utf-8");
  return rootView;
    }

inside the layout.xml:

<WebView android:id="@+id/videoView"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_marginTop="-45dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="-5dp"/>

This will work well.

You can not play youtube link directly in VideoView.

You need to integrate youtube player.

Check this out how to do that: https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/
