Making an interactive button that triggers a YouTube video

Is there a way to create a button in Indesign that on click, triggers a pop up YouTube video? I know I can make an embedded video doing this, but is it possible with a YouTube video? This is for a digitally published doc, not an interactive pdf. I can't seem to find any articles or instructional videos on this. It's important that a button launches the video. I know I can just place a YouTube video in Indesign. I need there to be a button action that triggers the YouTube video. Thanks!

You could try putting the video into a multi state object and having the button with go to state action. I'm not sure it will work or not so give it a whirl.
