Doesn't show video controls to play and stop

Hey, I have made an interactive PDF in InDesign and everything seems right there until I open it with Acrobat DC Pro. The videos play when I click on them, but the controls aren't showing. Even though I made sure to have InDesign Version 14.03, an MP4 video and selected PlayOverAll as controler. When I preview the page on InDesign I can even see the controler. But not in Acrobat DC Pro.

The annoying thing is, that it is for my Portfolio and not even my Professor has a control bar when viewing the videos in the pdf. Which gives a bad impression of me when I would send it to clients.

Did anyone have a fix for this? My controls say Playback Controls - All Controls but nothing visible.

Any help or fix appreciated.

I'm having the same issue. I don't want to use Adobe Portfolio, because I need the video to be secure and offline. I just want to send it as a pdf with links and text below. I made the pdf but am also having issues with the controls not displaying.

Don't use a PDF for this. Use Adobe Portfolio, an online site builder that comes free with qualifying Creative Cloud Plans.

For best results, upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo and embed it directly into your web pages. Portfolio is simple to use and because it's a web site, it works on any device. See links below.
