How can I hide the Event Index by default in Connect 9 recordings?

We do not use the Event index in our recordings, and the fact that it is open when the recording launches for anyone who views it, is problematic.  We embed the recordings on our website, and it is messing up the embeds (the Event Index is taking up too much space.)  Is there a way to make it hidden by default in Connect 9 recordings?

Thanks,

Kerry
