Sharing Events

Sharing API calls work in conjunction with our getPlugin() method. For instance, all of our sharing instances are using the getPlugin(‘sharing’) API call to refer to this particular plugin. The following will target our sharing plugin:

.on('ready', function(event){
  sharingPlugin = jwplayer().getPlugin('sharing');
});
