Full Screen - Disable Overlay Buttons

When viewing a stream in fullscreen (landscape) on mobile, there are overlay buttons that now block the stream. Please remove these from fullscreen mode, or add an option in the settings to disable them from appearing (no option exists right now). The point of viewing a steam in fullscreen is to watch the stream. The buttons clutter the video and are annoying. I do not want to see ANYTHING overlaying a stream when in fullscreen.

    I was going to post this same issue. Landscape mode (when not in fullscreen video only mode) showing **** on top of the stream video is unacceptable.

    Disappointed this issue goes back this far though, doesn't give me much hope for change. It's also an issue on iOS too.

    Youtube doesn't do this. I find myself going there instead because of this and being able to rewind stream. This 'feature' makes the app unusable and literally blocks information needed on the stream. Glaring issue for accessibility.

    People at Twitch have mercy and remove those icons (or add an option to hide/unhide them)
