'Does youtube player support to show cast button?
I'm writing a Android app to play youtube video by using Youtube API, I have a question how to show the "cast " button in Youtube player, if the API is available? if not, how can I cast the youtube video in my Android app to Chromecast or AndroidTV device?

YouTube player doesn't have the cast button and you cannot easily cast YouTube content from within your app. Currently, the only solution, is to write a custom receiver and embed YouTube html player in your receiver and then do some work to get things working to certain extent but it won't be a very good experience; for example, your users cannot skip ads, etc.

No, the youtube api does not have the cast button build-in. You can add the cast button to your app (outside the video player) - this guide can help with that: https://developers.google.com/cast/
