**Question:** How can I remove the pause button on the corner of a video placed as the background of a section? **Product:** Wix Studio Editor **What are you trying to achieve:** I have video playing as a background media on the top section of my website, but a white pause button shows up on the bottom corner on rover. I’d like to remove that. **What have you already tried:** I looked up and looks like it needs custom CSS but I have no idea how to do that. **Additional information:** > **[Rick Souza | Creative Director](https://www.ricksouza.com/)** > > Rick Souza | Creative Director, Art Director, Designer in Advertising and Branding ![Screenshot 2025-05-21 at 13.22.59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/e/3/e398c647005776101757e36e895c8f47eb285075.png) ---

Hey there, I just fixed this on my site. Try placing a completely transparent container over the entire video. It will remove the ability to click on the video and take out pause button. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/9/c/9c79284e214c22b3da2af3058255ff1e11d7b3a9.jpeg) ---

Thanks Harrison! But it didn’t work for me…I placed the container over the video but the button still shows. I left slightly colored in the img below so you can see where I placed it. ![Screenshot 2025-05-23 at 11.50.41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/2/4/2455d1280adf25b037b6ad55f7c57f9ddf71a44d.jpeg) ---

Saw this feedback elsewhere in the community and shared with the team. It’s a new accessibility feature that the team began to roll out. They’ve temporarily removed it, and will enable it again in the coming weeks with options to enable/disable, along with design the style of the button 🙂 ---

Hey Ricardo, Sorry that didn’t work for you… I’m trying to think of another solution. Have you asked ChatGPT if it can write some code for you to remove it? Or if it has another solution. That’s how I was able to find the container box solution myself. ---

Thanks for this info Noah. Just to confirm, is the temporary removal still rolling out? I’m still seeing the pause/play button on my site with no option to remove it. Also, did your info come directly from the dev team? Just want to make sure I’m working from the most accurate source. If there’s any ETA on when the toggle or styling options will be available, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks again! ---

Curious about this too!
