Hiding controls for YouTube using VoiceOver (self.Blind)
submitted by Canes123456
I usually google these issues but the results are all about producing voice overs for videos and youtube videos about turning off voiceover. When using voiceover on a iPhone, can you hide the controls while watching videos? The only way to do it seems to require disabling VoiceOver.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there is away. I think those button stay on the screen so that you can access them with voiceover. I have not found a solution to this problem myself, but something I do is keep voiceover said as my accessibility shortcut. That way I can turn voiceover on and off with three quick clicks of the home button. Not the solution you were looking for, but maybe it will be helpful.

Thank you for the answer! It is not too bad, just making sure that I did not miss something.
