Directing players off platform is not allowed. You can your YouTube link or whatever on the game’s social links, but you’re not supposed to advertise anything off platform in-game.

Like @Reditect mentioned here, directing offsite plainly like that is not permitted.
However, You CAN indeed direct players off-platform, provided you use the PolicyService’s AllowedExternalLinkReferences (link here).
This’ll tell your game what this player can access off-roblox, such as Youtube or X!
Also note: You DO NEED to run this check before even showing any offsite icons too (a fellow dev got their game under review for merely the twitter logo being shown!), so ensure that it’s inplace (A quick localscript will do the trick!)
Hope that helps!

Refer to this rule:
Directing Users Off-Platform
When using Roblox, you may not link to, share, or display URLs of any external websites or services, except for: YouTube, Facebook, Discord, X (formerly Twitter), Guilded, and Twitch. Links to any of those approved sites must be wrapped in the Applicable PolicyService API or listed in the Social Networks and Social Links settings of your profile or experience description page. Links (including those to approved sites) that appear in locations where the API cannot be deployed - such as text chat or embedded in media - are prohibited unless expressly authorized by or in partnership with Roblox. Any other efforts to direct users off of Roblox to an external website or service are prohibited, including:
Sharing any links, QR codes, or barcodes
Efforts to evade detection of links, including but not limited to: partial links, filter-bypassing, or masked links that misdirect users
Encouraging others to visit unpermitted external links
Note: For their privacy and safety, we prohibit users under age 13 from viewing or sharing links, regardless of API usage
DevForum and Talent Hub are treated separately and may have other links to external websites and services approved for use that are not permissible on the Roblox platform.
Hello!
To avoid confusion, im gonna tell you the information from the Roblox Community Standards. Roblox allows directing users off platform through YouTube, Facebook, Discord, X (formerly Twitter), Guilded, and Twitch if you use the Policy API. Any other methods such as google play store is likely not permitted unless authorized by Roblox
