I made an app that plays a YouTube video but when I launch it on Android virtual device, it tells me that YouTube application is required for this app to work. How can I install the YouTube app on my AVD? I don't have Google Play Services there. I did try using adb install command but I got an error saying: "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS]"

In Android Studio, create an Android Virtual Device (AVD) that the emulator can use to install and run your app. In the toolbar, select your app from the run/debug configurations drop-down menu. From the target device drop-down menu, select the AVD that you want to run your app on. Click Run .
Run your app on the emulator After you have created an Android Virtual Device (AVD), you can start the Android Emulator and run an app in your project: In the toolbar, select the AVD that you want to run your app on from the target device drop-down menu. Click Run.
You get INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS when installing an app (.apk file) that contains native libraries (.so files) for different architecture than device you are installing it on.
I can imagine you have yt APK for ARM architecture but trying to install it on an Intel-based emulator or device. Side note: Genymotion is Intel-based device.
Go and check apkmirror, there are two kinds of yt .apk there:

see those X86s or ARM64s?
Make sure to get the right one for your emulator.
