The current scenario is, when i open the rtsp link, the android’s player will start playing the stream. But is there any way to embed the player in a webpage and the android user can play the video within the webpage (not in the native player).

Hi

There isn’t a way for rtsp streams. You can embed a video on Android using a HLS url, by using the browser supported video tag.

But once an rtsp URL is encountered the external player is launched.
