Answer 1

If you said about this image

This is the image that I had when testing my application on Android 6.0.

You can hide this image. For example:

WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_view); mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClientCustomPoster()); 

Chrome client class:

 private class WebChromeClientCustomPoster extends WebChromeClient { @Override public Bitmap getDefaultVideoPoster() { return Bitmap.createBitmap(10, 10, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); } }

Answer 2

I have found a solution. Just add the attribute 'poster'.

e.g. poster="https://via.placeholder.com/1x1" or poster="noposter"

Note: null values ​​are ignored. ( poster="" )
