YouTube has made available a framework to save us from the hassle of using a web view directly. The framework is available at: https://github.com/youtube/youtube-ios-player-helper

All you need to do is to create a YTPlayerView view, add it to the view hierarchy with the constraints you like and load the video. Like so:

    youTubePlayer = YTPlayerView()
    youTubePlayer!.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    contentView.addSubview(youTubePlayer!)
    youTubePlayer!.pinAllAnchors(to: contentView)
    youTubePlayer!.load(withVideoId: url.youTubeVideoId()!)

Note that pinAllAnchors and youTubeVideoId are helpers I created. They are not part of the framework.
