Muting a video in a VideoView

Question

I'm playing a video (from youtube) using a VideoView, like this:

VideoView video = (ViewView) this.findViewById(R.id.youtube_video);
MediaController controllers = new MediaController(this);
controllers.setAnchorView(video);
video.setMediaController(controllers);

video.setVideoURI(videoUri);
video.start()

I would like to be able to mute the video, but so far the only thing I found is:

AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, true);

Which works fine in that the video is muted, but the problem is that all of the streamed music is muted, and if there's another video (or audio) which I want to play it's also muted.

Is there a way to just target the specific stream to be muted?
Thanks.

If you are coding in kotlin, Just use this line of code

videoView.setOnPreparedListener { video->
            video.setVolume(0f,0f)
        }
