Integration Example

Typically used within a VideoPlayer:

import { VideoPlayer, SubtitleToggleButton } from 'react-native-video-toolkit';

const MyVideoPlayer = () => {
  return (
    <VideoPlayer source={{ uri: 'https://example.com/video.mp4' }}>
      <VideoPlayer.Controls>
        <SubtitleToggleButton />
      </VideoPlayer.Controls>
