- Add the YouTube Player element to your mobile page. - Set Video URL or ID to a YouTube video link or the 11-character YouTube video ID.
- You can also use Playlist video IDs for a comma-separated or line-separated list of YouTube video IDs.
- Set the element width and height to the video size you want on the page.
- Use Show controls when you want users to see YouTube’s built-in playback controls.
- Use Auto play only when needed, and remember that some devices may require the user to tap before playback starts.
- Muted autoplay is usually more reliable than autoplay with sound.
- Use workflow actions such as Play, Pause, Stop, Seek to, Mute, Unmute, Set volume, and Set playback speed to control the player.
- Use Get current time, Get duration, and Get video URL when you need to save or display playback information.
- Use the player states to know when the video is ready, playing, paused, buffering, ended, muted, or in fullscreen.
- Use player events to run workflows when playback starts, pauses, ends, buffers, errors, or enters fullscreen.
- Use Start seconds and End seconds when you only want a specific part of the video to play.
- Use Show captions when you want YouTube captions to appear when available.
- Keep in mind that captions depend on the video, YouTube settings, and the viewer’s device preferences.
- Use Use privacy-enhanced host if the normal YouTube embed has issues inside mobile WebView.
- If a video shows an error, confirm that the video is public and allows embedded playback.
- Private, removed, age-restricted, or embed-disabled videos may not play inside the app.
- Avoid placing too many video players on one page because each player uses a WebView.
- Pause the video when users leave the screen or when the app goes into the background.
