Fire an event on play of youtube iframe embed

Question

I need to fire an event on play of a youtube iframe. So when the play button is pressed I need to call a function to hide the span.module-strip

I\'ve tried this but

Answer 1

player.getPlayerState():Number Returns the state of the player.

 /* 
      * player.getPlayerState():Number
      *
      * -1 – unstarted
      *  0 – ended
      * 1 – playing
      *  2 – paused
      *  3 – buffering
      *  5 – video cued
      *
      */
      function checkIfPlaying(){
        var playerStatus = player.getPlayerState();

         return  playerStatus == 1;
      }
