Here’s an example of how to apply custom styles:

import { View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import VideoPlayer from 'react-native-video-player';

const App = () => (
  <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
    <VideoPlayer
      source={{ uri: 'https://example.com/video.mp4' }}
      thumbnail={{ uri: 'https://example.com/thumbnail.jpg' }}
      autoplay
      customStyles={{
        wrapper: styles.wrapper,
        playControl: styles.playControl,
        seekBarKnob: styles.seekBarKnob,
      }}
    />
  </View>
);

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  wrapper: {
    // ...
  },
  playControl: {
    // ...
  },
  seekBarKnob: {
