[YouTube-API] Re: iframe embed on ipad effecting other absolutely positioned divs above it

Hello Ashley,

In general, you shouldn't obscure the playback area with any of your
custom content, and if the player is capturing clicks that's working
as intended.

You also might want to familiarize yourself with our Terms of
Service:
