To get video Id from Youtube Url, use code # Swift4 :

var videoId = ""

    if youtubeLink.lowercased().contains("youtu.be"){
            linkString = youtubeLink
            if let range = linkString.range(of: "be/"){
                videoId = youtubeLink[range.upperBound...].trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)
            }
        }
        else if youtubeLink.lowercased().contains("youtube.com"){
            linkString = youtubeLink
            if let range = linkString.range(of: "?v="){
                videoId = youtubeLink[range.upperBound...].trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)
            }
        }

Hope will be helping! :)
