Feature Request: Hide Controls

[RacerDelux]

It would be very useful if there was an option to hide the controls. On the standard HTML video tag, just not including the controls attribute would remove them.

Version 2.6.0 has been released which allows you to force the state of the overlay/controls, instead of using the default behaviour.

You can disable the overlay/controls as follows. You can bind this to a boolean variable to dynamically alter the behaviour.

<mat-video src="/assets/video.mp4" [overlay]="false">

Options:

• [overlay]="null" - default behaviour
• [overlay]="false" - always hide the overlay
• [overlay]="true" - always show the overlay

Not including the overlay attribute falls back on the default behaviour.

The documentation and sample have both been updated to reflect this change.

Closing.
