We'll simulate quality change via adjusting video source? Actually Big Buck Bunny has only one quality. For demo purposes, we'll implement a simulated quality selector that shows a toast-like indication. However, to be more robust I'll provide a true dynamic source quality? we can use another source? but that would break reliability. let's implement 'simulated quality change' plus optional note: but user expects a demo, we show that we can handle quality switching logic with custom sources. For reliable presentation, and not breaking, I'll implement quality notification + actually keep same video but transform visual? better to provide alternate source? I'll add an optional 'switchQuality' that tells visually but does not break; ideal for codepen demonstration: shows concept of selecting quality. --> </div> </div> <button class="ctrl-btn" id="fullscreenBtn" aria-label="Fullscreen"> <i class="fas fa-expand fullscreen-icon"></i> </button> </div> </div> </div> volume.addEventListener('input', (e) => video.volume = parseFloat(e.target.value); video.muted = video.volume === 0; muteBtn.textContent = video.muted ?
