YouTube Player Application using Kotlin

• In this project we will learn how to integrate and play a video using YouTube API in Android with Kotlin.
  

• The YouTube Android Player API enables you to incorporate video playback functionality into your Android applications.
  

• The API defines methods for loading and playing YouTube videos (and playlists) and for customizing and controlling the video playback experience.
  

• Using the API, you can load or cue videos into a player view embedded in your application’s UI. You can then control playback programmatically. For example, you can play, pause, or seek to a specific point in the currently loaded video.
  

• You can also register event listeners to get callbacks for certain events, such as the player loading a video or the player state changing. Finally, the API has helper functionality to support orientation changes as well as transitions to fullscreen playback.
