YouTube video on React Page

Use the react-player or video-react libraries to integrate a YouTube video into a React project. React Player is a library that allows you to embed audio and video players in your React applications.

It supports various media kinds and sources, including YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and local files, and offers a straightforward, programmable interface for playing media files. Another library for playing audio and video in React applications is called Video-React. It offers comparable user experience for manipulating audio and video players in your React components and is built on top of the well-known video.js package. Like React Player, Video-react offers support for various media formats and sources.  With a large user base and vibrant developer communities, React Player and Video-react are well-liked choices for integrating audio and video features into React apps. Consider each library's features and options, the level of customization and control you require, and the compatibility and integration with other tools and libraries you are using when choosing which library to employ in your project.  

Here is an example of how you embed a YouTube video into a React project:
