I'm writing a document for my students on latex and i want to design a fancy "play video" button with tikz or any other method to tell them that there is a video which explains more the idea. And i want to put the link in the button. Thanks in advance.

As Marijin said above, a way is inserting an image, and use the \href command from the hyperref package to link to a video. Here I create a Play-like button over an image as a pic of TikZ. Is that fancy enough ^^ You can use only the image, or only the Play button.

enter image description here

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\title{The Beauty of
Divine Beings Dancing}
\author{Shen Yun}
\date{August 2021}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{frame}[t]{The Beauty of Shen Yun Performamce}
{\itshape An explosion of color and sound \ldots}

Just click to the following button to play an introducing video on Youtube
\tikzset{Play button/.pic={
\path (0,0) node{\includegraphics[width=5cm]{shenyun.png}};
\draw[blue,line width=2pt,fill=yellow] (-.5,.5)--(-.5,-.5)--(.5,0)--cycle;
}}
\begin{center}
\href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JwBQxKbzeo}{\tikz\pic{Play button};}

\end{center}
