HTML5 video remove overlay play icon

Question

How do I remove the overlay play icon (triangle) that\'s visible in the center of the video for a second or so every time a video starts playing in an Android WebView?

Answer 1

I found a solution. Just add the 'poster' attribute.

e.g. poster="https://via.placeholder.com/1x1" or poster="noposter"

Note: Empty value are ignored. (poster="")
