Props

Only two props are required to work: id from the YouTube you want to render and title

Prop	Type	Description
id	string	Id of the video or playlist
title	string	Video title. Always provide a title for iFrames: https://dequeuniversity.com/tips/provide-iframe-titles Help the web be accessible ;) #a11y
announce	string	Default: Watch. This will be passed to the button in order to be announced to the final user as in Clickable Watch, ${title}, button , customize to match your own language #a11y #i18n
aspectHeight	number	Default: 9. Use this optional prop if you want a custom aspect-ratio. Please be aware of aspect height and width relation and also any custom CSS you are using.
aspectWidth	number	Default: 16. Use this optional prop if you want a custom aspect-ratio. Please be aware of aspect height and width relation and also any custom CSS you are using.
activeClass	string	Pass the string class for the active state
adNetwork	boolean	Default: false To preconnect or not to doubleclick addresses called by YouTube iframe (the adnetwork from Google)
cookie	boolean	Default: false Connect to YouTube via the Privacy-Enhanced Mode using https://www.youtube-nocookie.com You should opt-in to allow cookies
iframeClass	string	Pass the string class for the own iFrame
muted	boolean	If the video has sound or not. Required autoplay true to work
params	string	any params you want to pass to the URL in the iFrame. Two important things to notice: You can assume you just need to add the params, we already setup for you, so you should write start=1150 and not ?start=1150 or &start=1150. You can place more params but it will need to fully form: start=1150&other=value&another=value. First, when you share a YouTube url the param of time is just t, but the embed needs start.
playerClass	string	Pass the string class for the player, once you can customize it
playlist	boolean	Use true when your id be from a playlist
playlistCoverId	string	The ids for playlists did not bring the cover in a pattern to render so you'll need pick up a video from the playlist (or in fact, whatever id) and use to render the cover. There's a programmatic way to get the cover from YouTube API v3 but the aim of this component is do not make any another call and reduce requests and bandwidth usage as much as possibe
poster	string. One of default mqdefault hqdefault sddefault maxresdefault	Defines the image size to call on first render as poster image. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2068344/how-do-i-get-a-youtube-video-thumbnail-from-the-youtube-api
rel	string	Default preload. allows for prefetch or preload of the link url
