Always show controls

[MWJ97]

Hello there,

For Gify and HTML5 videos, I want to always show controls. I don't want every time to right-click on it and turn on “Show controls”.

Is there any way for this??

Vivaldi version: 6.2.3105.48 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)

Thanks in advance.

Are you turning on the controls with every video? I went to https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp and right-clicking the video screen showed the controls were already on:

Yes, it's on with me, too.
I think what I have is not HTML5, it's actually some sort of streaming video and every time I open it, I have to reactivate the “Show controls” option.
But, can you give me some examples for GIFs that has this feature??

Yes, it works for me. Actually, if I switch it off for this video, it turns on again with reloading the page. I don't know if this is normal.
For my issue, I think what I have is not HTML5, it's actually some sort of streaming video and every time I open it, I have to reactivate the “Show controls” option.

@MWJ97 I went to r/blackcats on Reddit. For the first video that came up in the feed, I right-clicked it and Show Controls was off.

So I think it depends on the type of video. It's on for HTML5 and off for other formats.

Yes, I think so. Hope there'll be an option to control this form more formats.

@MWJ97 everything sounds normal to me.
