As long as you have the URL to the YouTube.com video, you can click on it if it is sent as a clickable link. Otherwise, if it's unclickable text only, use your pointer (or fingers) to highlight the complete URL, then select copy. Open a new browser tab, then right-click or double-tap inside the location bar (Address bar in IE) and choose Paste from the options. Hit Enter, or Go (phone) and you will open YouTube.

Whether the video plays for you depends on two things.
1: If the video requires Adobe Flash, you must have the current version of Flash installed and enabled in the browser.

2: If the video has been created in or converted into HTML 5 video, your browser must be modern enough to understand HTML 5 Video format.
