Im trying to embed the twitch video player, but I dont want it to be able to go fullscreen. Even when using “allowfullscreen=false”, the button and option appear. Likewise, I can force it off by disabling mouse clicks on it, but then I cant click to start when a stream has the “mature language” button to click in the beginning. How do I disable fullscreen, or the entire overlay itself (link to stream, pause play, fullscreen, etc)?

I’m seeing the same behavior, @SPApp. I’ve reached out to the team and should have an answer later today.

@SPApp A fix for this has been added, which should be available early this coming week.
