From the state, it is possible to access required player, video or advertising data for your video application or analytics purposes.

For example, you can determine if PiP is currently displayed, access the duration of the video or know if the Player is in or out of the user’s viewport.

To access data state of the Player, video or advertising, use the getState() method: on resolve, it will return an object representation of the player state.
