Why are you calling Reload? just setting source updates to the Youtube url no need to call Reload.

@rmarinho @samhouts OP was probably calling Reload() as an attempt to get Source assignment work. Nothing of that works, actually. The web page is not updated.

Scheduling Source property assignment with Dispatcher works - even though the original code was executing in the main thread. Below is what worked for me.

        private void NextButton_OnClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MainThread.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
               {
                   webView.Source = new UrlWebViewSource { Url = "https://www.youtube.com" };
               });
        }
