You may also receive the activation in the 2.18.10 update, but the 2.18.11 version is surely better.To view a YouTube video on WhatsApp, simply you have to share or receive its url in a chat and you will see in a bubble the Play button.

As reported in our old article about the YouTube support, this feature had one limitation, that is “it’s not possible yet to keep active the video if you change the chat”: fortunately WhatsApp has worked to allow videos to not be stopped when the user changes the chat.

Unfortunately, this feature isn’t currently available for Android and Windows Phone users, and seems there are no plans to introduce it at present.

If there will be news for these two platform, we will immediately notify you on Twitter and our Telegram channel about a new post on our website!
