The dark overlay that appears when a video is paused serves several purposes: it enhances focus on the controls, ensures privacy, maintains aesthetic consistency, saves energy on certain screens, and provides a clear visual indication that the video is paused. While these benefits are valuable, you may choose to turn off this feature, as it can conceal important information your audience might need to see clearly while the video is paused.
Follow this guide on how to disable the overlay in the player settings.
