how do I move the video play control box when watching videos on photos?

I used to be able to move it while watching videos but can no longer. It will disappear after a while, but I'd like to move it before I start the video.

In Photos 4 and 5 one makes the control box disappear by moving the cursor off of the video screen. You can also drag to move it while pressing on the track pad.

If you are using a newer Photos version where the above is not happening then possibly there has been a change in the software.

As a workaround you can drag the video to your desktop and play it there.
