How to get rid of the screen commands on YouTube?

Hello,
I'm setting up my first Samsung device (Galaxy S10plus) and I got offered by the device to keep on my YT commands on screen. Those commands are usually fade out after a couple of seconds. Now there is an X sign at the top right corner, enabling me to turn the onscreen commands off. After some experimenting I find this feature annoying but can't revert to the default playback style. I searched everywhere and every advice sent me to turn off "accesibility", but there is no switch for that in the accesibility menu and even when I turn off all accesibility options, it's still there. Restarting didn't help.
I replaced my avatar with a screencap so it would be clear.

I'd appreciate your help.

Open the YouTube app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, tap Settings, tap Accessibility, disable "Accessibility player" or set a specific time in "Hide player controls".

Thank you so much mr_master. It works like a charm.
If you only knew how many hours I spent on the wrong accesibility switch (on the device instead of the app). 🙏
