360 video with navigation menu

Bitmovin Player does support this use case either via the Player API (your own controls, controlling the player via JavaScript) or by modifying the player appearance (available in Bitmovin-Player v7) .

Say you want to overlay a "play" button on a video, just define an element and call it .play()on the player instance .

$('.play-button').click(function () {
  player.play();
});

The button can then be easily skinned and placed above the player using CSS.

Although changing the viewport is not supported via API or controls. These can be handled by touch controls on the Video element (or the device's gyroscope).
