You can't open a browser from an Alexa custom skill.

And its possible that an intent shows you a video or a list of videos that you choose?

Thanks for the reply.

If you use Alexa Presentation Language (APL) then you can play videos on screen based devices.

Here's an example -> https://apl.ninja/document/DanielMittendorf/video-player-with-full-controls-play-pause-skip-and-progress-bar-px1d
