You are using compound classes in find_element_by_class_name which won't work. Change it to find_element_by_xpath and try

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@class='ytp-large-play-button ytp-button']")

Note :- Your element is under iFrame so don't forgot to switch in iframe

driver.switch_to.frame(0)

Complete Code :

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://likesrock.com")
driver.implicitly_wait(20) 
driver.switch_to.frame(0) 
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='ytp-large-play-button ytp-button']")
element.click()

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://youtube.com')

search_bar = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/ytd-app/div/div/ytd-masthead/div[3]/div[2]/ytd-searchbox/form/div/div[1]/input')
search_bar.send_keys("python")
search_bar.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

I was just attempting to play the video by launching Youtube website.

Code provided by @Narendra worked well with Chrome but couldn't work with Firefox.

driver.get(url)
element = driver.find_element_by_id("player-container")
element.click()

Above code worked with Firefox as well.
