Picasso is an image downloading and caching library and doesn't support playing videos. If you wanna play a video you will have to use another aproach. You can use ExoPlayer as jonyiash answered, for example. There is a tutorial for achieving that by using the VideoView component:

Hope it helps :)

Picasso is only for pictures. I think the best way to upload videos from url is Exoplayer.
