youtube_player_flutter Flutter plugin for playing or streaming YouTube videos inline using the official iFrame Player API. Supports both Android and iOS platforms.
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.
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
.
No configuration required - the plugin should work out of the box.
YoutubePlayer(
context: context,
initialVideoId: "iLnmTe5Q2Qw",
flags: YoutubePlayerFlags(
autoPlay: true,
showVideoProgressIndicator: true,
),
videoProgressIndicatorColor: Colors.amber,
progressColors: ProgressColors(
playedColor: Colors.amber,
handleColor: Colors.amberAccent,
),
onPlayerInitialized: (controller) {
_controller = controller;
_controller.addListener(listener);
},
),
Set the isLive property to true in order to change the UI to match Live Video.
YoutubePlayer(
context: context,
initialVideoId: "iLnmTe5Q2Qw",
flags: YoutubePLayerFlags(
isLive: true,
),
liveUIColor: Colors.amber,
),
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:
YoutubePlayer(
context: context,
initialVideoId: "iLnmTe5Q2Qw",
bottomActions: [
CurrentPosition(),
ProgressBar(isExpanded: true),
TotalDuration(),
],
),
Don’t worry, Got a solution for you. :wink:
Set the hideControls property to true, then you can create your own custom controls using the controller obtained from onPlayerInitialized property.
YoutubePlayer(
context: context,
initialVideoId: "iLnmTe5Q2Qw",
flags: YoutubePlayerFlags(
hideControls: true,
),
onPlayerInitialized: (controller) {
//Create your own UI using this controller
//on top of the player.
},
),
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

Download apk from above(in badges) and try the plugin.
Since the plugin is based on platform views. This plugin requires Android API level 20 or greater.
If you only want to target Android and need support for Android Kitkat or less, then you can use youtube_player.
