Some of those controls are channel/app dependent. (channel developer designs the function/assignment).
Many of the ones I watch I use the Back button to escape that overlay, others I may have to use one of the arrow buttons, and on others, I have to simply wait.
If you specify the channel/app you are using, maybe a user has that installed and can provide some help if a certain button/key is available.
Good point! My issue is regarding streaming on Netflix, however, I believe I have the same problem on some other streaming services like Amazon Prime & Disney+.
