Properties

• videoID: The YouTube video ID to play, can be changed to change the video playing.
• play: Controls playback of video with true/false. Setting it as true in the beginning itself makes the video autoplay on loading.

• playsInline: Controls whether the video should play inline, or in full screen.
• rel: Hides related videos at the end of the video. Default false.

• modestbranding: This parameter lets you use a YouTube player that does not show a YouTube logo. Default false.
• controls: This parameter indicates whether the video player controls are displayed. Supported values are 0, 1, 2. Default 1. More information
• showinfo: Setting the parameter's value to false causes the player to not display information like the video title and uploader before the video starts playing. Default true.
• origin: This parameter provides an extra security measure for the IFrame API.
• apiKey: This parameter is required on Android for the YouTube API to work.

Events

• onReady: This function is called when the video player is setup.
• onChangeState: Sends the current state of the player on e.state. Common values are buffering/playing/paused and more.
• onChangeQuality: Sends the current quality of video playback on e.quality.
• onError: Sends any errors during video playback on e.error.
• onProgress: Sends any time progress made on e.currentTime and e.duration.
