Previously installed from a ZIP?

Disable your unpacked Video Controls copy in Chrome’s Extensions menu before installing the store version, so two copies do not show controls on the same video. You may need to set your preferences again in the store version.

If your organisation blocks extension installs, ask your administrator. For playback help, see the support page.
