Hi Joanna, I agree with Jess that both suggestions are great!
There's a possible variation of the first, in which at some sizes all options (excepting Play, Volume and –maybe– Full Screen option) could be gathered under a "+" button. When the user clicks the "+" button, a bar expands showing all the options. Do you think this could also work?
