Choose how the controls appear on the page

You choose how the controls appear on the page in Settings, on the General tab under Display Mode. It works signed out.

Display modes

Mode	What you see on the page
Floating Widget	The widget, a control panel you can drag anywhere on the page. This is the default.
Notification Only	A small speed indicator when the speed changes, and no panel

The widget's Tools tab has the same choice under Display & Theme, where the two modes are labeled Floating and Notify.

Notification Only suits you when you drive everything from the keyboard, you already know your keys, and you want nothing sitting on top of the page while the video plays.
