possible duplicate of [Calling YouTube app using ACTION\_VIEW intent Failing most of the time](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2978963/calling-youtube-app-using-action-view-intent-failing-most-of-the-time) You can only view the User's profile if the YouTube app provides that feature. As for viewing Videos. You can pass video url intents. see the link — , Aug 21 '13 at 08:07

The title asks for video playing, question body asks for showing a user. Please edit the other to make the question clear. — laalto, Aug 21 '13 at 12:08

Do it like this:

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/user/punjabiradiousa")));
