Description

YouTube's seemingly rolling out a new embedded player UI which is used in Duck Player. We discovered that adding a URL param (color=white) will force the YouTube player to use the legacy UI instead of the new player.

Testing Steps

• Run this branch of C-S-S on an Android or iOS build
• Open Duck Player on any video
• Use Safari or Chrome to inspect the Duck Player window
• Confirm that the iframe has a src attribute that includes the query param color=white . You can run this on the console to confirm document.querySelector('iframe').src.includes('color=white');
• Confirm that the player interface looks like this

and not like this

@shakyShane I'm checking whether we can roll this change out to desktop too.
