Hey there - Flutter team member here. Support for integrating arbitrary non-flutter views/widgets (referred to as PlatformViews in Flutter terminology) is something we're actively working on at the moment, once we've got them landed, web views and video player support are top of our list in terms of views to add support for. We know people can't wait for this to land, and believe me, I can't wait for it to land either :)

PlatformView support is one of our top desktop priorities this year (along with multi-window support).

Hello, I'm from the Flutter desktop team. We're actively working on adding platform views to desktop, which will allow you to embed web views into your Flutter application. Stay tuned :)

This. This was one of the reasons we ended up abandoning Flutter (the state of text editing was the other, super_editor notwithstanding).

Haven't used, but seems to be available as a community package:

https://pub.dev/packages/desktop_webview_window

Edit: on 2nd glance perhaps this doesn't embed into the widget tree but is always its own window?
