Hi there, Sam! While the player controls stay visible on the video when paused, I can see how making them disappear would be helpful. As you said, that would allow learners to view the full video frame and captions without the player in the way.
For now, the best way to view the video without player controls is to video the video with the picture-in-picture feature. Here's a short video of that feature in action.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'll pitch this to my team and see if it's something worth pointing out to our learners.
On the face of it this feels a little clumsy and less professional, especially considering that the video player controls auto-hide during playback anyway - again, why not extend this feature for when the video is paused, controls becoming visible when mouse movement over the video is detected as in playback.
Kind regards,
Sam
