You’re not actually allowed to stream video from YouTube to a custom application per their Terms of Service.

but what about MY chanell?
And also remote camera? How to stream video from MY remote camera to my Unity-app?
Their servers, their bandwidth. It costs them money to host and deliver content. If you must have video streaming into your application you’ll have to find a service that will allow it or host the files yourself.
Sorry, but I’ve never actually tried hooking up a camera.
External cameras use the oddly named WebCamTexture.
He asked about technicalities. Also don’t know if you know, but Steam itself is doing that “not allowed” thing.
No it isn’t. Steam embeds the videos in a webpage which is 100% allowed. Yes, even in the client this is how it works.

This is allowed because YouTube keeps control of the space. They can still show ads, count stats against a particular user, link back to YouTube and show what to watch next videos. It’s not uncommon to be dragged back to YouTube after seeing an embedded video.
Try opening store page of any given title in Steam client. You’ll see Steam’s custom player instead of YT one.
Also when someone asks for TECHNICAL details of how to do something, maybe perhaps give them just that and let them handle law stuff if/when he/she gets in the trouble?
Anyway OP, here you go: Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making - dunno if it’ll work but worth a try.
//edit: Another one: Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making - may work better.
thanks, I’ll try.
Still not allowed without explicit permission from youtube.
