///

YoutubePlayer(
    context: context,
    source: "nPt8bK2gbaU",
    quality: YoutubeQuality.HD,
    // callbackController is (optional). 
    // use it to control player on your own.
    callbackController: (controller) {
      _videoController = controller;
    },
),

5. Playing livestream videos

Must set isLive property to true in order to play livestream videos.

YoutubePlayer(
    context: context,
    source: "ddFvjfvPnqk",
    quality: YoutubeQuality.HD,
    **isLive: true,**
),

Note:

In scenario, where one need to navigate to next page and return.
You’ll need to pause the video before navigating, otherwise the video will keep on playing.

RaisedButton(
    child: Text("Next Page"),
    onPressed: () {
          _videoController.pause();
          Navigator.of(context).push(
               MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => NextPage()),
          );
    },
),

Didn’t like the controls ?

Don’t worry, Got a solution for you. 😉
Set the playermode to NO_CONTROLS, then you can create your own custom controls using the controller obtained from callbackController property.

YoutubePlayer(
    context: context,
    source: "ddFvjfvPnqk",
    playerMode: YoutubePlayerMode.NO_CONTROLS,
    callbackController: (controller) {
      _videoController = controller;
      },
),
