Hey folks,
I’m working on a site where videos will be featured prominently; I’m hoping that the UI for the videos themselves can be a bit nicer. Is there a way to manipulate the UI of the video controls in the weweb video component? I.e. play/pause button, timeline, etc.
thanks!

You can do this by using position absolute and making your own UI from icons etc. That’s how everyone does it in, very very abstracted.
