I think the only official way is to make it play inside a UIWebView.

However there is a project called XCDYouTubeKit that, I think, will do exactly what you want: https://github.com/0xced/XCDYouTubeKit

That's allows you to make a youtube view play in a specific frame, that's maybe what your looking for.

example of use:

NSString *videoIdentifier = @"EdeVaT-zZt4"; // A 11 characters YouTube video identifier
[[XCDYouTubeClient defaultClient] getVideoWithIdentifier:videoIdentifier completionHandler:^(XCDYouTubeVideo *video, NSError *error) {
    if (video)
    {
        // Do something with the `video` object
    }
    else
    {
        // Handle error
    }
}];

Documentation is available here: http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/XCDYouTubeKit/2.0.1/

Good luck
