I'm using wordpress, when I embed videos it shows annoying video play button. How can I remove it? Thanks.

I think that makes a good CTA IMOH ! There are some plugins that could get your perfectly designed play buttons if that looks so absurd.

When you use WP Rocket, you're able to cache the social media account embeds and replace the actual video with an image (taken of the video): https://wp-rocket.me/

Is that FV Player? If it is, adding this CSS tweak to the theme's stylesheet hides the "Play" button supposedly:

Code:

.is-splash.flowplayer .fp-ui, .is-paused.flowplayer .fp-ui {
display: none;
}

Yeah .. To me I think it does !!
You might just want to style it a bit or possibly consider @Festinger Option...

Try to use the following CSS code in order to hide (not remove) that button.

You can add CSS code in Dashboard → Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS (WordPress 4.7 and up).

#wp-custom-header-video-button {
display: none;
}
