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?
