HTML5 Video // Completely Hide Controls

Like this:

<video width="300" height="200" autoplay="autoplay">
  <source src="video/supercoolvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

controls is a boolean attribute:

Note: The values "true" and "false" are not allowed on boolean attributes. To represent a false value, the attribute has to be omitted altogether.


You could hide controls using CSS Pseudo Selectors like Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/g1rsasa3

//For Firefox we have to handle it in JavaScript 
var vids = $("video"); 
$.each(vids, function(){
       this.controls = false; 
}); 
//Loop though all Video tags and set Controls as false

$("video").click(function() {
  //console.log(this); 
  if (this.paused) {
    this.play();
  } else {
    this.pause();
  }
});
video::-webkit-media-controls {
  display: none;
}

/* Could Use thise as well for Individual Controls */
video::-webkit-media-controls-play-button {}

video::-webkit-media-controls-volume-slider {}

video::-webkit-media-controls-mute-button {}

video::-webkit-media-controls-timeline {}

video::-webkit-media-controls-current-time-display {}

<!-- Hiding HTML5 Video Controls using CSS Pseudo selectors -->

<video width="800" autoplay controls="false">
  <source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
