title: UWP play a YouTube video
body: <p>I am trying to find a resource that would explain how to retrieve a YouTube video URL to play in an external player. Of course, I have taken a look at the <a href="https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/dotnet/apis/youtube/v3" rel="nofollow noreferrer">YouTube Data API</a>, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.</p>
  
  <p>However, I know it is possible, given that there exist YouTube client applications that are able to stream video (MetroTube is one example).</p>
  
  <p>I saw the related post (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8313991/how-to-play-a-youtube-video-in-wpf-using-c-sharp">How to play a YouTube video in WPF using C#</a>), but it was posted a long time ago. I would like to avoid having to use a WebBrowser control (or WebView in UWP).</p>
  
  <p>Can someone suggest an approach or point to a resource that allows this?</p>
