FAQs

What are the primary ways to embed a YouTube video using angular-youtube-embed?

You can embed a YouTube video by providing either a `video-id` attribute with the YouTube video's unique ID or a `video-url` attribute with the full YouTube video URL. The directive handles the embedding process automatically.

How can I listen to events from the YouTube player, such as when a video ends?

The directive emits various events like `youtube.player.ended`, `youtube.player.playing`, and `youtube.player.paused`. You can listen to these events in your Angular controller using `$scope.$on('youtube.player.ended', function($event, player) { ... });` to trigger custom logic.

Can I control the embedded YouTube player programmatically, for example, to play or stop a video?

Yes, you can reference the player object by assigning a variable to the `player` attribute on the `youtube-video` element. Then, in your controller, you can call methods like `bestPlayer.playVideo()` or `bestPlayer.stopVideo()`.

Does angular-youtube-embed support customizing the YouTube player's appearance or behavior?

Yes, you can pass an object of YouTube player parameters to the `player-vars` attribute. This allows you to control aspects like hiding controls (`controls: 0`) or attempting autoplay (`autoplay: 1`), though autoplay may not work on mobile devices.
