When a video in Safari is played in fullscreen mode and the user pauses it, an overlay (such as a play button or other controls) appears. This affects the user experience, as we want to avoid showing the overlay during fullscreen viewing after the video is paused.
Expected Behavior:
- The overlay should not appear after the video is paused in fullscreen mode.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open a webpage https://slides-dev.pitchavatar.com/rtxuf in Safari.
- Start playing the video.
- Enter fullscreen mode.
- Pause the video.
- The overlay appears after the video is paused.

Additional Information: Safari version: Safari 18.0.1 (20619.1.26.31.7) Environment: macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 (24A348)
We would like to know if there is there any way to prevent the overlay from appearing in Safari when the video is paused in fullscreen mode.
