How to open youtube links on my facebook messenger app, in the youtube app? I am unable to play YouTube videos from the links I get on my Facebook Messenger app.

Here's what happens:


A friend of mine posts a video link to me (YouTube link) as a message on Facebook.
I receive it on my Android mobile in the Facebook messenger app.
I click on it and it shows a Dialogue-Box (you can call that a pop-up) which asks me to choose an app to open the video with. 


Now earlier, there used to be the video player apps in my mobile along with the internet browsers installed on my mobile that used to come up there. So I would select an internet browser, and it in turn would re-direct me to the "YouTube" app itself. 

However, now, I am only getting video-players in that Dialogue Box as an option to open the YouTube video, but of course, if I select them, they are not able to stream the video.

Has anyone found a way around this problem? It is really bothersome.
Go to settings on Facebook messenger app on Android. Then photos and media. Activate/turn on open links in default browser.
