Anyway to remove the play button

rchrugg — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 14:17:02 GMT

I am hoping that someone can help with an annoying problem with "My.arlo" viewing of the library. In reviewing captured video, there is an overly large Play Icon that appears for approximately 2 seconds before disappearing., If I pause the video to get a closer look at something, the icon reappears. Its cumbersome and doesn't make sense to have an icon cover up so much of the video. borderline idiotic.

Is there a way to configure this from happening, like moving the play and pause button out of the picture or is there an alternative method for viewing these videos?

Thanks

I'm afraid not.

This and other borderline idiotic things: the list is long.

Thanks, I suspected as much. What a dumb feature

I am having the same issue, but this is my workaround:

Download the video to Windows Video Play Program and the center play/stop button is now off the image screen. All normal viewing functions are now at the bottom of the screen. This is a PITA but it works, you can then delete the download if you want. Return to the Arlo view and nothing changes, just extra work that the user didn't intend for.

Exactly: all that extra work.
