  1. Start the controls pick, then select the strip containing play, volume and fullscreen.
  1. Test a playing video

    Start playback and dismiss player menus. Verify you are configuring the tab containing the video, not a different tab. Embedded players and theater/full-screen modes can change the page structure.

  2. Choose the player explicitly

    On Home, click Ticker not displaying on this website? Click here, choose Ticker not displaying at all, then Select the video player, then select the actual video area on the page. The popup closes so you can make the selection. Avoid choosing a surrounding sidebar or an advertisement.

  3. Correct the controls-bar target

    If the ticker sits above or obscures controls, choose Ticker appearing above video controls → Select the video controls in the same troubleshooting list and point to the video player’s controls bar. Reveal the controls by moving the pointer over the player before selecting.

  4. Recheck after layout changes

    Test normal view, theater view and full screen separately. If the site replaced its player or changed its layout, repeat the selection. Keep Footer available on sites whose embedded player cannot host the overlay.

If it still happens

Tell us the website and viewing mode, whether it is an embedded player, and whether manual selection or Footer succeeds. Collect the right information and send a report →
