[html] In Chrome 55, prevent showing Download button for HTML 5 video

I am getting this download button with <video> tags in Chrome 55, but not on Chrome 54:

How can I remove this so no one can see the download button in Chrome 55?

I have used <video> tag to embed this video on my web page. So, I want some kind of code to remove this download option.

Here is my current code:

<video width="512" height="380"  controls>
    <source data-src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Hey I found a permanent solution that should work in every case!

For normal webdevelopment

<script type="text/javascript"> 
$("video").each(function(){jQuery(this).append('controlsList="nodownload"')}); 
</script>

HTML5 videos that has preload on false

$( document ).ready(function() {
  $("video").each(function(){
    $(this).attr('controlsList','nodownload');
    $(this).load();
  });
});

$ undevinded? --> Debug modus!

<script type="text/javascript"> 
jQuery("video").each(function(){jQuery(this).append('controlsList="nodownload"')}); 
</script>

HTML5 videos that has preload on false

jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
  jQuery("video").each(function(){
    jQuery(this).attr('controlsList','nodownload');
    jQuery(this).load();
  });
});

Let me know if it helped you out!

I solved the problem by covering the download button of a audio controller with a transparent div that changes the symbol of the mouse-cursor to "not-allowed".

The div blocks the activation of the download button.

Height: 50px, Width: 35px, Left: (document-right -60), Top: (same as the audio controller).

You must set the z-index style of the div above the z-index of the audio-controller.

See sapplic.com/jive66 for an example that works for chrome on win7 and on win8.

May be the best way to utilize "download" button is to use JavaScript players, such as Videojs (http://docs.videojs.com/) or MediaElement.js (http://www.mediaelementjs.com/)

They do not have download button by default as a rule and moreover allow you to customize visible control buttons of the player.

As for current Chrome version (56) you can't remove it yet. Solution provided in other posts leads to overflowing some part of the video.

I've found another solution - you can make the preceding button to overlap the download button and simply cover it, by using this technique:

video::-webkit-media-controls-fullscreen-button {
   margin-right: -48px;
   z-index: 10;
   position: relative;
   background: #fafafa;
   background-image: url(https://image.flaticon.com/icons/svg/151/151926.svg);
   background-size: 35%;
   background-position: 50% 50%;
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Example: https://jsfiddle.net/dk4q6hh2/

PS You might want to customise the icon, since it's for example only.

This can hide download button on Chrome when HTML5 Audio is used.

 #aPlayer > audio { width: 100% }_x000D_
/* Chrome 29+ */_x000D_
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0)_x000D_
  and (min-resolution:.001dpcm) {_x000D_
     /* HIDE DOWNLOAD AUDIO BUTTON */_x000D_
     #aPlayer {_x000D_
           overflow: hidden;width: 390px; _x000D_
    }_x000D_

    #aPlayer > audio { _x000D_
      width: 420px; _x000D_

_x000D_
    #aPlayer > audio { width: 420px; }_x000D_
}

<div id="aPlayer">_x000D_
 <audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls">_x000D_
  <source src="http://www.stephaniequinn.com/Music/Commercial%20DEMO%20-%2012.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />_x000D_

Google has added a new feature since the last answer was posted here. You can now add the controlList attribute as shown here:

<video width="512" height="380" controls controlsList="nodownload">
    <source data-src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/mp4">
</video>

You can find all options of the controllist attribute here:

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/03/chrome-58-media-updates#controlslist

As of Chrome58 you can now use controlsList to remove controls you don't want shown. This is available for both <audio> and <video> tags.

If you want to remove the download button in the controls do this:

<audio controls controlsList="nodownload">
