Flutter doesn't currently have any built-in support for video.  If you'd like to be notified of updates, you can subscribe to the issue:

In the near term, you can play a video by placing the plaform's video play on top of the FlutterView that's displaying the rest of your UI.  This has the disadvantage that you won't be able to draw on top of the video using Flutter, which is why we're planning to add built-in support for video.

Is it possible to draw the video (or other things) under the FlutterView with a transparent background ?

If that's not currently possible, it would be pretty straightforward to make it possible.  I think we currently initialize the FlutterView to opaque black but we could initialize it to transparent just as easily.
