Tap once to pause (no more waking up the controls first)
Live for everyone, right now.
Watching a clip and want to stop it? Tap the video. That's it. Right now the first tap only brings the buttons back and the second one pauses, so pausing always costs two taps. With this change a single tap anywhere on the video pauses it, the controls appear at the same time, and one more tap plays on. Tapping a subtitle word still opens its meaning, and a double tap still skips back or forward 15 seconds. It works the same way you already know from TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.
