let html: String = String(format: youTubeVideoHTML, videoView.frame.width, videoView.frame.height, id)


let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
if #available(iOS 9.0, *) {

     webConfiguration.allowsAirPlayForMediaPlayback = true
     webConfiguration.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true
     webConfiguration.allowsPictureInPictureMediaPlayback = true
     webConfiguration.mediaTypesRequiringUserActionForPlayback = []

}

webView = WKWebView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: videoView.frame.width, height: videoView.frame.height), configuration: webConfiguration)
webView.uiDelegate = self
webView.scrollView.isScrollEnabled = false
webView.scrollView.zoomScale = 0
webView.isMultipleTouchEnabled = false
webView.scrollView.isPagingEnabled = false
