The dark overlay that appears when a video is paused serves a few useful purposes:
- It draws attention to the playback controls
- Helps maintain a clean and consistent look
- Improves privacy
- It can reduce energy use on some screens
That said, you might want to disable this feature, especially if the overlay is covering important on-screen content that your members need to see while the video is paused.
Follow this guide on how to disable the overlay in the player settings.
How to turn off the dark overlay on paused screens
Open your Player settings by clicking here, or start going to it by clicking your profile icon at the bottom left corner and selecting Settings.

In the "Appearance" settings, turn off the Overlay option. You'll notice the change immediately in the player preview.
Make sure to click Save for the changes to take effect.
That's it! 👍 This change will affect your media player's appearance when you start to share or embed your content.
