If you add a YouTube video to your application, you should see the YouTube web-page to play the video but it it will not actually play. This does work on an actual device. If you have a Provisioning Profile (from Apple, needed to install apps on devices) you should be able to install your app on a device then play YouTube videos without any trouble.
