How to make view stay on full screen and hide participant pane while playing back recorded meeting?

While playing back a recorded meeting I click full screen so I can read clearly what is on screen (especially if it is a text file in smaller font during code reviews). If I pause the recording and then start playing again, it switches back to meeting view showing all the participants. This reduces the font size in the playback window making it hard to see. How to hide the participant pane to fix this?
