Roblox thumbnail navigation arrow buttons cover up YouTube embed overlay when you pause a video

Reproduction Steps

Go to any game that has a video thumbnail along with any other thumbnail media, then pause the video after starting it

Expected Behavior

Ideally the YouTube player’s overlay should be hidden when embedded in Roblox video thumbnails, but the navigation arrows on Roblox could also be placed somewhere outside the video frame to avoid button overlap

Actual Behavior

The Roblox thumbnail navigation arrows cover up the X button on the overlay that YouTube puts on embedded videos when you pause them, so the overlay can’t be hidden without resuming the video

Workaround

You can click the overlay X button if you put the video in fullscreen

Hi! unfortunately we’re limited to the configurations that Youtube embeds support. This will stay around unless something on their side changes.
