What is the best way to show a list of videos that is playable in each cell with Xamarin.Forms?

I'm trying to create a UI that loads a list of videos like in video streaming apps. I've seen that putting a video player inside a CollectionView or a ListView performs bad. What is the best way to go with this? Is it possible to show only a thumbnail of the video as an image in a cell and when user clicks on it only a video player appears on the same place and begin to play? If it is possible please give me some ideas to go with this

    You can add a CollectionView to display the video list and add a videoplayer above the CollectionView by using a Xamarin.Forms RelativeLayout .

    And when you click the item of the video list, then load the new video item to the videoplayer by url or path and play it.
