[html] HTML5 Video // Completely Hide Controls

How Could I completely hide HTML5 video controls?

<video width="300" height="200" controls="false" autoplay="autoplay">
<source src="video/supercoolvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video> 

false didn't work -- how is this done?

Cheers.

A simple solution is – just to ignore user interactions :-)

video {
  pointer-events: none;
}

This method worked in my case.

video=getElementsByTagName('video');
function removeControls(video){
  video.removeAttribute('controls');
}
window.onload=removeControls(video);

First of all, remove video's "controls" attribute.
For iOS, we could hide video's buildin play button by adding the following CSS pseudo selector:

video::-webkit-media-controls-start-playback-button {
    display: none;
}

You could hide controls using CSS Pseudo Selectors like Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/g1rsasa3

//For Firefox we have to handle it in JavaScript _x000D_
var vids = $("video"); _x000D_
$.each(vids, function(){_x000D_
       this.controls = false; _x000D_
}); _x000D_
//Loop though all Video tags and set Controls as false_x000D_
_x000D_
$("video").click(function() {_x000D_
  //console.log(this); _x000D_
  if (this.paused) {_x000D_
    this.play();_x000D_
  } else {_x000D_
    this.pause();_x000D_
  }_x000D_
});

video::-webkit-media-controls {_x000D_
  display: none;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
/* Could Use thise as well for Individual Controls */_x000D_
video::-webkit-media-controls-play-button {}_x000D_
_x000D_
video::-webkit-media-controls-volume-slider {}_x000D_
_x000D_
video::-webkit-media-controls-mute-button {}_x000D_
_x000D_
video::-webkit-media-controls-timeline {}_x000D_
_x000D_
video::-webkit-media-controls-current-time-display {}

<video width="800" autoplay controls="false">_x000D_

There are two ways to hide video tag controls

1. Remove the controls attribute from the video tag.

2. Add the css to the video tag

   video::-webkit-media-controls-panel {
   display: none !important;
   opacity: 1 !important;}
   

<video width="320" height="240" autoplay="autoplay">
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { initialiseMediaPlayer(); }, false);


function initialiseMediaPlayer() {

    mediaPlayer = document.getElementById('media-video');

    mediaPlayer.controls = false;

    mediaPlayer.addEventListener('volumechange', function(e) { 
        // Update the button to be mute/unmute
        if (mediaPlayer.muted) changeButtonType(muteBtn, 'unmute');
        else changeButtonType(muteBtn, 'mute');
    }, false);  
    mediaPlayer.addEventListener('ended', function() { this.pause(); }, false); 
}
