 * Each loop of the YouTube hosted video shows a pause button in the centre of the
   video for the first 2 seconds. 
   Fairly certain this is coming from YouTube.I 
   assume AWB already adds parameters to hide controls for YouTube embeds.Is there
   any way to remove this pause button too?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhide-pause-button-on-youtube-hosted-loop%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
