Hi everyone is there a way to hide the download option (via custom css) from the video options? We are streaming the video from custom urls (non-public options). We would rather not share our videos in this way. It looks like they player is a custom one (not the one that is coming from the actual streaming source.

Hi there and welcome to the Community, @Daniel_Klinger 👋

Our devs came up with a custom script for this case (it’s already added to the **Custom JS** field on the **Settings** tab of your widget’ settings):

```auto
util.waitForElement('.es-playlist-player-view-player-wrap').then(player => {
  new MutationObserver(() => {
    const video = player.querySelector('.es-media-video-player video:not([data-processed])');
    if (!video) return;
    video.setAttribute('controlsList', 'nodownload');
    video.setAttribute('data-processed', '');
  }).observe(player, {
    childList: true,
    subtree: true
  });
});

```

  

> **Note:** Custom JS doesn’t function in the preview mode, so you can check the result right on your website or through the [Share Link](https://help.elfsight.com/article/1471-how-to-share-widget-via-link)
