I dont want the toolbar at the bottom of my video in media player. How do I have a clear display

Hi Ben Foster

If you're using the Windows Media Player (new app) or Media Player in Windows 11, the playback controls at the bottom usually disappear automatically after a few seconds when you're not moving the mouse.

Try these options:

1. Enter Full Screen
   • Double-click the video, or press F11.
   • You can also click the Full Screen icon in the player controls.
2. Hide the Controls
   • Move the mouse pointer away from the video area and wait a few seconds.
   • The toolbar should fade out automatically.
3. If the Toolbar Stays Visible
   • Make sure the mouse cursor is not resting over the video.
   • Try pausing and resuming playback.
   • Restart the Media Player app.

Feel free to update here if anything comes up!
