I'm trying to put a video as featured in my theme, i mean, to be shown by the tag "the_post_thumbnail ('')", without using any plugin. Is this possible? Thank you!

No, it is not possible as-written in core. the_post_thumbnail() uses the ID of the attachment post-type that has been selected as the featured image for the post, then outputs the image associated with that attachment post-type.

You would have to filter the_post_thumbnail() in some manner, but your question specified "without a Plugin".
