Bug Description

Tapping anywhere on the video that is playing should pause it and vice versa.

UX Comment:

Jim's recommendation aligns with the reviewed/ approved design put forward in the Media Service specification:

There is a conflict with this behavior and the current one.

The current behavior uses the click to show and hide the controls.

This new behavior will conflict with the old one, and the user will not have a way to show the controls.

I can change the code to show the controls if the video is paused or stopped but then the user will need to stop the video to seek on it. (because the controls will not be visible while playing).

My recommendation for functionality here would be to do what I've seen some other media apps on other platforms do: the first tap shows the controls, and a second tap while the controls are still on screen would pause. Once paused, the controls stay on the screen until playback starts again. The controls will automatically hide after a timeout if the user hasn't tapped the screen again.

I agree with Jim's suggestion - let's make the first tap show controls
