    On the web, it would not be possible.

    Why not?

      Because of the CORS settings on Google’s servers would tell your browser to not go forward with the request. There are two ways it could eventually be possible:

      • By opening the video in a new page/tab that only contains the video, with the YouTube player, which defeats the purpose a bit.
      • By installing an addon or an app on your device.

        I haven’t checked the CORS headers for YouTube videos but wouldn’t access have to be fairly open to allow embedded videos to work?
