Removing elements from within the YouTubePlayerView in Android

My YouTube video shows an overflow menu, full screen, open in YouTube buttons from within the YouTubePlayerView or the YouTubePlayerFragment.

Is there any way to remove those items? I can't find anything in the docs.

Thanks.

Solution

  • Add the style YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.CHROMELESS in initialization to completely remove all available controls.

    In onInitializationSuccess add ytPlayer.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.CHROMELESS);.

    Check here for more details.

    Edit : You can add your own controls using either a DialogFragment or Dialog on top of the YoutubePlayer. This will allow you to control playback completely using your own buttons and seekbar. And it does the trick of removing Youtube App Button from player.
