Youtube iframe videos do not work in react-native webview

I have a problem with playing youtube or instagram videos wrapped inside iframe using react-native-webview. The problem is only in Android. IOS works fine.
So, when i put iframe into webview it looks ok. Until I click on play button. Video starts loading, all native buttons are available and sound works fine but the movie is black. Sound and stop/play buttons work.
Dependencies:
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.57.5
"react-native-webview": "^2.12.1"
I prepared simple demo where the videos do not work:
render() {
return (
<WebView
originWhitelist={['*']}
useWebKit={false}
source={{
html: `
XX
<div>
<iframe width="320" height="240" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/li8yILhFFZM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div> `
}}
/>
);
}
}
and screenshot of the problem:

Thank you for help!

Alternative you can use URI simply with default webview from react-native ,works well with android.
<View style={styles.cardRounded}>
<WebView
mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction={true}
style={{ height:240, width:320,alignSelf:"center",alignContent:"center"}}
source={{uri: 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/li8yILhFFZM?rel=0' }}
/>
</View>
let styles = StyleSheet.create({
cardRounded: {
paddingEnd:0, paddingTop: 0 , paddingBottom: 0, paddingStart: 0, padding:0,
borderRadius: 12, alignItems:"center", backgroundColor:#000000,flex:0, height:240,
},
});
