Chromecast embedded youtube video on iOS

Question

I am developing an app for iOS.I am embedding Youtube videos in UIWebView using javascript youtube player API (YT.Player).

I checked link, https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/2995235?hl=en. And it is mentioned, Casting from YouTube is supported from the YouTube app, YouTube.com, and most embedded YouTube videos.

I wanted to know, can I handle chromecast of embedded youtube that is integrated to my UIWebView? If so, how? I do not want to integrate Google cast SDK and keep track of all chromecast devices in my application.

Thanks

No - that your case isn't currently supported. Unfortunately, you need the Chrome Extension to make those YouTube cases work, and that isn't supported in a UIWebView on iOS.
