You can right click on it and choose "Show controls", at least in Firefox.

Oh, that's odd, it didn't show up on chrome when I first tried it, but it does now. I was wondering how they'd managed to hide the video context menu

  • It's probably just <video> element without "controls" attribute.

    > controls

    > If this attribute is present, the browser will offer controls to allow the user to control video playback, including volume, seeking, and pause/resume playback.

    Edit: I misunderstood, you are asking

    > how they'd managed to hide the video context menu

    Not sure, but it works in FF for me

    • Its entirely possible I did something to it accidentally that made the context menu not work properly. I had the dev tools open to pull the actual video address when I right clicked, so I might have messed something up. Or maybe the devs are secretly looking at the comments and fixed it between me and you trying :P

    • It won't let me reply to parent's child comment, but i wanted to say:

      That is what HN is for!
