You need Qt 5.6 or above with webengine and webenginewidgets modules to use this widget in your application.
Go to your project's source directory, clone the repository to WebEnginePlayer directory. (You can remove unwanted files likes images etc once done)

Add these two modules (webengine and webenginewidgets ) to your .pro file. Add the .pri file in your project's .pro file like below.
