How to Hide the Tracking Bar in Flowplayer
Flowplayer is a video player you can use to embed videos into your website. You can get this video player for free, or you can get the commercial version to add your own logo on the player. It features plug-ins such as analytics, captions and content. The controlbar plug-in, also known as the track bar, enables your viewers to track a video's timeline. Hiding the track bar keeps people from forwarding or tracking your video's timeline, ensuring that your videos are viewed throughout. To hide the controlbar, you must use a script that makes the controlbar disappear.
