The plugin uses webview_flutter under-the-hood to play videos.

Since webview_flutter relies on Flutter’s new mechanism for embedding Android and iOS views, this plugin might share some known issues tagged with the platform-views and/or webview labels.

Setup

iOS

Opt-in to the embedded views preview by adding a boolean property to the app’s Info.plist file
with the key io.flutter.embedded_views_preview and the value YES.

Android

No configuration required – the plugin should work out of the box.

Using Youtube Player

YoutubePlayerController _controller = YoutubePlayerController(
    initialVideoId: 'iLnmTe5Q2Qw',
    flags: YoutubePlayerFlags(
        autoPlay: true,
        mute: true,
    ),
);

YoutubePlayer(
    controller: _controller,
    showVideoProgressIndicator: true,
    videoProgressIndicatorColor: Colors.amber,
    progressColors: ProgressColors(
        playedColor: Colors.amber,
        handleColor: Colors.amberAccent,
    ),
    onReady () {
        _controller.addListener(listener);
    },
),

Playing live stream videos

Set the isLive property to true in order to change the UI to match Live Video.

YoutubePlayerController _controller = YoutubePlayerController(
    initialVideoId: 'iLnmTe5Q2Qw',
    flags: YoutubePLayerFlags(
      isLive: true,
    ),
);

YoutubePlayer(
    controller: _controller,
    liveUIColor: Colors.amber,
),

Want to customize the player?

With v5.x.x and up, use the topActions and bottomActions properties to customize the player.

Some of the widgets bundled with the plugin are:

FullScreenButton
RemainingDuration
CurrentPosition
PlayPauseButton
PlaybackSpeedButton
ProgressBar

YoutubePlayer(
    controller: _controller,
    bottomActions: [
      CurrentPosition(),
      ProgressBar(isExpanded: true),
      TotalDuration(),
    ],
),

Want to play using Youtube URLs ?

The plugin also provides convertUrlToId() method that converts youtube links to its corresponding video ids.

String videoId;
videoId = YoutubePlayer.convertUrlToId("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBAyRBTfsOU");
print(videoId); // BBAyRBTfsOU
