            viewWidth = videoView.width;
            viewHeight = videoView.height;

            //View Location
            val point = IntArray(2)
            videoView.post {
                videoView.getLocationOnScreen(point) // or getLocationInWindow(point)
                viewPositionX = point[0]
                viewPositionY = point[1]
            }
