You can use it like this:

if (!(/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent))) { //check if mobile and invert result
  console.warn("Desktop detected");
  $("#youtube").html(`<div id="video" data-video="ClIBmBT9clU" data-mute="true"></div>`); //append player
}

strong.warning {
  color: orange;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="youtube">
  <strong class="warning">Please use desktop</strong>
</div>

Or like this:

const isMobile = (function isMobile() {
  try{ document.createEvent("TouchEvent"); return true; }
  catch(e){ return false; }
})(); //create mobile-detection function and use it
if (!isMobile) { //check if mobile and invert result
  console.warn("Desktop detected");
  $("#youtube").html(`<div id="video" data-video="ClIBmBT9clU" data-mute="true"></div>`); //append player
}

strong.warning {
  color: orange;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="youtube">
  <strong class="warning">Please use desktop</strong>
</div>

Also desktop browser do not have orientation property, so you can also use this (as mentioned here):

const isMobile = typeof window.orientation !== "undefined";
