Force native video controls

Turns on the browser's built-in controls for every video element, including ones added dynamically.

Code to copy

// Force the browser's native controls onto every video element.
function showControls() {
  document.querySelectorAll('video').forEach(function (v) {
    try {
      v.controls = true;
      v.removeAttribute('disablepictureinpicture');
      v.removeAttribute('controlslist');
    } catch (e) {}
  });
}
showControls();
// Catch videos injected after load.
new MutationObserver(showControls).observe(document.documentElement, {
  childList: true, subtree: true
});

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
