Anything on top of Video Component & IOS auto play without gesture using <video mute>?

Hi,

Is it possible to have anything on top of the video component? For example a “skip video”-button on top of the video playback?

I have not found a way to get this to work.

Thanks for any help!

Anyone has done this or know how it can be done?

You might need to customize the engine to achieve this. Search “createElement(‘video’)” in video-player-impl.js please.
