YouTube player opening unnecessarily during scrolling of CollectionView

I am working on a chatbot where the different type of response comes from the server and I display the response using UICollectionView cells in chat screen. Different type of cells presents according to server response. when server response with playing video, I am presenting the cell that contains youtube player. I am using https://github.com/kieuquangloc147/YouTubePlayer-Swift. The issue is when I scroll chat screen (collectionView) youtube player is opening again and again. Sometimes it is blocking all the UI element and stop scrolling. I tried different methods but can't able to resolve it. Here is the code: PlayerView:

import UIKit

class PlayerView: UIView, YouTubePlayerDelegate {

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        addYotubePlayer()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    // youtube player
    lazy var youtubePlayer: YouTubePlayerView = {
        let viewFrame = UIScreen.main.bounds
        let player = YouTubePlayerView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: viewFrame.width - 16, height: viewFrame.height * 1/3))
        player.delegate = self
        return player
    }()

    // used as an overlay to dismiss the youtube player
    let blackView = UIView()

    // youtube player loader
    lazy var playerIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView = {
        let indicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()
        indicator.activityIndicatorViewStyle = .whiteLarge
        indicator.hidesWhenStopped = true
        return indicator
    }()

    // shows youtube player
    func addYotubePlayer() {
        if let window = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow {
            blackView.frame = window.frame
            self.addSubview(blackView)
            blackView.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0, alpha: 0.5)
            let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleDismiss))
            tap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
            tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false
            blackView.addGestureRecognizer(tap)


            let centerX = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width / 2
            let centerY = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height / 2

            blackView.addSubview(playerIndicator)
            playerIndicator.center = CGPoint(x: centerX, y: centerY)
            playerIndicator.startAnimating()

            blackView.addSubview(youtubePlayer)
            youtubePlayer.center = CGPoint(x: centerX, y: centerY)

            blackView.alpha = 0
            youtubePlayer.alpha = 0

            UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0, usingSpringWithDamping: 1, initialSpringVelocity: 1, options: .curveEaseOut, animations: {
                self.blackView.alpha = 1
                self.youtubePlayer.alpha = 1
            }, completion: nil)
        }
    }

    func play(_ videoID: String) {
        youtubePlayer.loadVideoID(videoID)
    }

    @objc func handleDismiss() {
        blackView.removeFromSuperview()
        UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.viewWithTag(24)?.removeFromSuperview()
        UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.removeFromSuperview()
    }

    func playerReady(_ videoPlayer: YouTubePlayerView) {
        self.playerIndicator.stopAnimating()
    }

    func playerStateChanged(_ videoPlayer: YouTubePlayerView, playerState: YouTubePlayerState) {
    }

    func playerQualityChanged(_ videoPlayer: YouTubePlayerView, playbackQuality: YouTubePlaybackQuality) {
    }

}

YouTubePlayerCell (Which I present in collectionView wthe hen server responds for video):

import UIKit

class YouTubePlayerCell: ChatMessageCell {

    var player: PlayerView = PlayerView(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)

    override func setupViews() {
        super.setupViews()
        setupCell()
    }

    func setupCell() {
        messageTextView.frame = CGRect.zero
        textBubbleView.frame = CGRect.zero
    }

    func loadVideo(with videoID: String) {
        player.tag = 24
        UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.addSubview(player)
        player.play(videoID)
    }

    override func prepareForReuse() {
        super.prepareForReuse()
        player.removeFromSuperview()
        UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.viewWithTag(24)?.removeFromSuperview()
    }

}

Here is how I am presenting the YouTubePlayerCell in cellForItemAt method of UICollectionView

let message = messages[indexPath.row]
    if message.actionType == ActionType.video_play.rawValue {
                if let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: ControllerConstants.youtubePlayerCell, for: indexPath) as? YouTubePlayerCell {
                    self.resignResponders()
                    if let videoId = message.videoData?.identifier {
                        cell.loadVideo(with: videoId)
                    }
                    return cell
                }
            }
