Answer 1

Use Desktop mode on WebView. Youtube will autoplay. Add this:

webView.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.137 Safari/537.36")

Like this:

val webView: WebView = findViewById(R.id.webView)
webView.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
webView.settings.domStorageEnabled = true
webView.loadUrl("http://your.web.site/")
webView.webChromeClient = object : WebChromeClient() {}
webView.settings.setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON)
webView.settings.setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON_DEMAND)
webView.settings.setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.137 Safari/537.36")
if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>16){webView.settings.setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture(false)}
webView.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() {
    override fun onPageFinished(webView: WebView, url: String) {
        super.onPageFinished(webView, url)
    }
}
