add an option to hide navigation for embedded decks with autoplay
We'd like to display our deck on interior signage so that it automatically advances through slides, but the timer/pause button and navigation arrows obscure the slides' content. It would be awesome if there was an option to hide the navigation arrows and pause button/timer for embedded decks with autoplay enabled. Or an option to make them smaller, depending on the size of the display.

This is possible by manually appending query parameters to the embed URL.

controls=false hides the navigation controls and autoSlideStoppable=false hides the pause button in the bottom left.
We'll consider adding these options to the embed UI too.

It sounds like you're looking for a cleaner, distraction-free autoplay experience for your embedded decks. Here are a couple of possible solutions:
Full Hide Option – A toggle to completely hide the navigation arrows and pause/timer when autoplay is enabled.
Auto-hide on Inactivity – Navigation elements could disappear after a few seconds of no interaction, reappearing only when hovered over.
Size Adjustments – Making the controls smaller based on the display size to prevent overlap with slide content.
Would you prefer a complete removal, or an option where they auto-hide after a short delay?
