How can one hide that diamond shaped play button?

It doesn’t make sense to have it especially when the videobox is set to run automatically or on hover.

I realize on iOS it may not run automatically but once you hover over the image with a mouse, or tap it when scrolling, the play button should disappear (like it does on desktop).

Anyone?

If you’re using the VideoBox or Transparent Videos, there’s the option to design the Play button, though it will be on the same on all breakpoints. You should be able to set [https://support.wix.com/en/article/editor-x-adding-and-customizing-videos-on-your-site#designing-the-play-button](https://support.wix.com/en/article/editor-x-adding-and-customizing-videos-on-your-site#designing-the-play-button)

If it’s the video player, you can design the play button per breakpoint but there’s not currently an option to remove it. If it autoplays and you set controls to **Never** when **When playing, controls show.** For me, it doesn’t show the play button at all.

Here’s the video from the preview. It just starts.

Tested it on iOS and I think it adds controls to the VideoPlayer automatically.
