Playing videos inside mobile apps has become an essential feature for modern user interfaces, whether it’s tutorials, product demos, or entertainment content. In Flutter, building a smooth and responsive video playback experience requires the use of the VideoPlayer widget. As a result, it helps developers to handle video streaming, play and pause controls, and buffering with minimal effort. Understanding how you can implement it properly will ensure better media handling, user engagement, and overall app performance. Required Tools To build this app, you need the following items installed on your machine: Visual Studio Code / Android Studio Android Emulator / iOS Simulator / Physical Device. Flutter Installed Flutter plugin for VS Code / Android Studio. Step-by-Step Implementations Let’s now shift the focus from understanding the VideoPlayer widget to actually wiring it into a working Flutter app. Each step gradually connects the tools, packages, and code needed so the video can load, display, and respond smoothly to user actions. Step 1: Create a new Flutter Application Create a new Flutter application using the command prompt. To create a new app, write the following command and run it. flutter create app_name Step 2: Add the Required Dependency Add the below dependency to your pubspec.yaml file. dependencies: dependencies: flutter: sdk: flutter video_player: ^2.10.0 Step 3: Import the Package First of all, import material.dart file. import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart'; import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; Step 4: Execute the main Method Call the runApp() method in the main() method to start the app. void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } Step 5: Create MyApp Class In this class, we are going to implement the MaterialApp , Here, we are also setting the Theme of our App. class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.green, // Set the app's primary theme color ), debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false, home: Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: Text('Video Player'), ), body: Center( child: VideoPlayerApp(), ), ), ); } } Step 6: Create VideoPlayerApp Class In this class, we are going to implement the VideoPlayer that helps to play a video in a Flutter app. class VideoPlayerApp extends StatefulWidget { @override _VideoPlayerAppState createState() => _VideoPlayerAppState(); } class _VideoPlayerAppState extends State
{ VideoPlayerController? _controller; @override void initState() { super.initState(); // Create a VideoPlayerController for the video you want to play. // ignore: deprecated_member_use _controller = VideoPlayerController.network( 'https://flutter.github.io/assets-for-api-docs/assets/videos/bee.mp4', ); // Initialize the VideoPlayerController. _controller!.initialize(); // Play the video. _controller!.play(); } @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return AspectRatio( aspectRatio: _controller!.value.aspectRatio, child: VideoPlayer(_controller!), ); } @override void dispose() { super.dispose(); // Dispose of the VideoPlayerController. _controller!.dispose(); } } Complete Source Code main.dart: import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart'; void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.green, // Set the app's primary theme color ), debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false, home: Scaffold( appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Video Player')), body: Center(child: VideoPlayerApp()), ), ); } } class VideoPlayerApp extends StatefulWidget { @override _VideoPlayerAppState createState() => _VideoPlayerAppState(); } class _VideoPlayerAppState extends State
{ VideoPlayerController? _controller; @override void initState() { super.initState(); // Create a VideoPlayerController for the video you want to play. // ignore: deprecated_member_use _controller = VideoPlayerController.network( 'https://flutter.github.io/assets-for-api-docs/assets/videos/bee.mp4', ); // Initialize the VideoPlayerController. _controller!.initialize(); // Play the video. _controller!.play(); } @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return AspectRatio( aspectRatio: _controller!.value.aspectRatio, child: VideoPlayer(_controller!), ); } @override void dispose() { super.dispose(); // Dispose of the VideoPlayerController. _controller!.dispose(); } } Output:
