Hello,

I have a quite simple use case I’d like to prevent clicks from showing the controller player. I know there is a way of doing it on Media3 with media3View.useController = false and then setting it back to true when needed but I can’t find such feature on bitmovin.

Any help appreciated :slight_smile:
