Control Visibility
All top/center/bottom zones in the UI, as well as the individual controls, have the option to be hidden until the video has loaded or played.
This can be useful for keeping things looking unclutttered until if controls are actually needed. It's also good for visual feedback for when a player has loaded & the user is able to play the video.
