How to autohide the controls of the video player, in a Rise Video Block ?
Hi Xavier, thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback!
That is the default behavior of the built-in player to show the controls at all times. There isn't a way without modifying the published output to autohide the control of the player.
What I can suggest is for your learners to press the Picture in Picture button, which will pop out the video and then resize it and move it. There are no player control overlays and the dark overlay does not stay in the Picture in Picture mode.
Another idea design-wise if your learners are having problems with seeing what's at the bottom of the video when pausing, is to add black cinematic bars to the top and bottom of the video.
This will center the content so even if the player buttons are there, they don't cover any content.
Hello Renz,
The “Picture-in-Picture” suggestion does not meet our requirement,
since too many manipulations would be needed for all videos.
The “black cinematic bars” suggestion does not meet our requirement,
since there would be an important waste of space in the resulting page.
In an e-learning context, I think, that it is a common requirement,
to let trainees see the video content, when the video is paused.
Therefore, I expected, that Rise would meet this requirement out of the box.
But I now understand, that it does not currently.
Thank you for your help,
