This will likely be fixed when bug 1545296 is fixed.

Could you please take a look over this player https://developer.jwplayer.com/tools/stream-tester/ ? Now the toggle button is not displayed anymore.

On https://vimeo.com/ the button is displayed and it works without any issue.

Hi Cristian,

This is because of bug 1547795, where we added the following heuristics when determining whether or not the toggle should be displayed:

We hide the toggle if a video meets any of the following criteria:

1. Either the width or height dimensions are less than 160px
2. There is no audio track for the video
3. The video is less than 45 seconds long
