YouTube overlay hiding screen while pause

Pradyumnajpn — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 16:08:41 GMT

I'm using my 3rd gen chromecast to cast youtube from my PC to my monitor (it isn't a google nor android tv). When I pause the video a pause menu pops up that covers half the screen making it impossible to read or see. stays up indefinitely. The only way to minimize the pause menu is to play the video for about 5 seconds which is completely counterproductive since the point of pausing was to give me time to read what is on the screen. Is there any way to minimize the pause menu of a youtube video while the video is paused?

Oh, and to answer an answer that I already received; I do not have a remote so I don't have a back button to press.

and also I checked the option below already “hide player control” is enabled.

Log into the YouTube app on your phone.
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
Tap on Settings.
Tap on Accessibility.
Either toggle off the Accessibility player, or change the Hide player controls option.

Hey there Pradyumnajpn,

Welcome to the Chromecast Community Forum! I'm sorry to hear that YouTube control overlay is giving you issues. Normally, I would suggest using a remote as a work-around, but since you do not have that option, would you be able to submit feedback to Google? That way, they know that these on-screen controls need to be looked at, as some users don't like the way they are implemented.

I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know, otherwise, I'll go ahead and lock this thread in 24 hours.

Best regards,
Jeran
