Android Auto lets you access most of your navigation apps, music, and more useful apps on the road without using your hands. You can use it to keep you entertained on a boring car drive. But, sometimes we like to watch a video while on the go, but the safety concerns of Google do not allow us to use YouTube or Netflix while driving. We have a few third-party apps which let you stream YouTube videos without the official YouTube App on your Android Auto.
Warning: Do not use a mobile phone or watch video while driving. Focus on road, and your partners, friend or family can enjoy a video streaming on Android Auto.

Google does not allow its video-playing apps to run on Android Auto due to its safety guidelines. Also, it is not safe to see videos while driving as it can be a distraction while on the road.
