Youtube videos does not loads in WebView

I created a WebView for YouTube . The URL loads but the videos does not loads. 

WebView web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web);
web.loadUrl("http://youtube.com");

Edited:

That problem is now fixed after setting WebChromeClient.

web.setWebChromeClient(new ChromeClient());

Create a new class which extends WebChromeClient

public class ChromeClient extends WebChromeClient{

}

The url needs HTTPS not HTTP in order for it to load properly.

https://www.youtube.com/

You have to check first, try the code below

if (url.contains("youtube")) {
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)));
} else {
    webView.loadUrl(url);
}

hope, it helps
