Cover “Show media title on video”
Quite often, users are looking the “Show media title on video” option to disable the display of the media title when playback starts. This should be explained in the docs somewhere.
Yes, but the option is very hidden in the “advanced” preferences which you can find from the “VLC” menu (on Mac) or in “Extras” (on Linux or Windows).
When in advanced mode, click on the “Video” category and disable “Show media title on video” on the right. Save and restart VLC.
