Default Player in Storyline

I have encountered this issue with 10-12 Storyline files, and I am curious if anyone else has experienced it and if so, what your solution was? 

I need to remove the Play/Pause button and Playback from my player because I do not have any audio, video or utilizing the timeline in my file. When I deselect the Play/Pause button and Playback from my player and then I upload the project into Team Slides, it doesn't seem to save my player settings. When I reopen the file from Team Slides, the Play/Pause button and Playback Speed are re-selected. This does not happen with any other player setting, only the Play/Pause button and Playback speed. 

This behavior does NOT happen if I save locally and then open the file from my local machine. When I save locally, my player settings are saved as is.

Has anyone else experienced this?
