When a user clicks on a VAST Video ad playing (which has a clickable landing page) in a Bitmovin player. It goes to the landing page but upon returning to the player - doesn’t have any play or pause controls and mouse click doesn’t continue the Ad.

The only option is to refresh the page. Is there any solution to this?

Adding a screenshot of the player of when it’s stuck. (Just has Yellow borders to the video)
