Feature request: make clicks on video area toggle play/pause

See original GitHub issue

Feature request: consider making a click on the video toggle between play/pause. Currently the only way to play/pause the video is by clicking the play/pause button in the control bar. Tested with media-chrome@0.4.2 on codepen.

Good callout @luwes I’d agree we should make sure we’re not loosing that if at all possible in the implementation.

It would be nice to keep the right-click menu options of the video element. Will these be removed with a new gesture layer on top? Picture in picture and Chromecasting is always nice to have without needing special buttons.
