🐛 BUG: YouTube player restarts from beginning if you resize window while playing

[zshall]

What went wrong? 🤔

This can easily be reproduced on Windows with a maximized browser window being restored or dragged out of a tab to a new tab.

Embedded YouTube videos will stop playing when you resize the browser because the modal dialog they're in is hidden when the browser goes below a certain size. You then need to restart the video from the beginning.

Expected Behavior

The embedded YouTube player will continue playing if it started playing, regardless of the size of the browser.

Steps to Reproduce Issue

- Open Daily.dev in a browser window over 1000px wide.
- Open a post in a modal dialog with an embedded YouTube video.
- Play the video.
- While video is playing, resize the browser window to a smaller size (less than 1000px)

The video will stop playing since the modal is now hidden.

Resize the window to a larger size and the modal will recreate itself but the video will be stopped.

Solution Proposed

Would it be possible to hide the YouTube player without destroying the instance?

Thanks for reporting @zshall it feels very edge-case/feature request'ish.
Not perse bug, I'm going to convert it to a feature request.
