basestring"#000000"Player controls bar, information bar, central play button, and right-click context menu.

Learn more about the color scheme options and how they're used on the Cloudinary docs (opens in a new tab).

Event Props

The event props allow you to pass in a function that is called whenever the associated event occurs.

For instance, in order to trigger an event whenever a video is paused:

<CldVideoPlayer onPause={({ player }) => {
  const duration = player.duration();
}} ... />

Logo Prop

The logo prop gives the option to customize the player's logo.

logo defaults to true, showing the Cloudinary logo and linking to https://cloudinary.com (opens in a new tab) when clicked.

When logo is set to false, no logo will be displayed.

To customize the logo, the following options are available in the form of an object:

Prop NameTypeDefaultDescription
imageUrlstring-Image URL for player logo.
onClickUrlstring-URL to browse to on logo click.

Ref Props

The playerRef and videoRef props give you the ability to pass in your own ref to gain access to both the Player instance as well as the HTML video element on which the player is mounted.

To do this, create a new Ref instance and pass that in as the value of the prop:

const myVideoRef = useRef();
...
<CldVideoPlayer videoRef={myVideoRef} ... />
