We have the following three entries to open the player.

  1. VideoFeed widget

  2. StoryBlock widget

Customize player styles

As the following code snippets, we could customize styles for video overlay CTA, action button, countdown timer, etc.

Customize player styles for video feed widget

// Configure player configuration for VideoFeed widget
final videoPlayerConfiguration = VideoPlayerConfiguration();

// Customize the video overlay CTA button style
videoPlayerConfiguration.ctaButtonStyle = VideoPlayerCTAStyle(
  backgroundColor: "#2089ff",
  textColor: "#ffffff",
  fontSize: 14,
  shape: ButtonShape.roundRectangle,
  iOSFontInfo: IOSFontInfo(
    fontName: "Helvetica",
    systemFontStyle: IOSSystemFontStyle.italic,
    systemFontWeight: IOSSystemFontWeight.heavy,
  ), // or ButtonShape.oval
);

// Customize the style of action button style, such as share button
videoPlayerConfiguration.actionButtonStyle = VideoPlayerActionButtonStyle(
  backgroundColor: "#2089ff",
  textColor: "#ffffff",
  dividingLineColor: "#ffffff",
  shape: ButtonShape.oval,
);

// Customize the style of cancel button style
videoPlayerConfiguration.cancelButtonStyle = VideoPlayerActionButtonStyle(
  backgroundColor: "#ffffff",
  textColor: "#000000",
  shape: ButtonShape.oval,
);

// Specifies the appearance of the countdown timer
videoPlayerConfiguration.countdownTimerConfiguration =
    CountdownTimerConfiguration(
  appearance: CountdownTimerAppearanceMode.light,
);

  source: VideoFeedSource.playlist,
  channel: "your encoded channel id",
  playlist: "your encoded playlist id",
  videoPlayerConfiguration: videoPlayerConfiguration,
);
