murray:
MC27 had this feature and was added: Left clicking a playing video will toggle the pause state.

Is there a setting somewhere that disables this feature in MC29?
If the answer is NO then is it possible to add one in a future release to MC29 please?
It was added to MC27 on the 27.0.15 (9/21/2020)

27.0.15 (9/21/2020)

13. NEW: Left clicking a playing video will toggle the pause state.

This is the thread where the guy is asking the question and below looks like when they added the feature (see#13)

We need to be able to bring the window to the front and left clicking in the video window seems to be the only way to do it (BUT this now pauses the player)

tzr916:
What version are you running? Quick testing on my machine v29.0.34, I cannot reproduce your issue. This was resolved in v27.0.18 (9/30/2020)

4. Changed: The program no longer pauses a playing video when clicking to activate the program from another program.

The OP is right, left clicking on a video while the video is playing in full-screen pauses and resumes playback.

That is an intentional feature, as documented in the changelog - but its not supposed to pause if MC doesn't have focus, and you just click on it to gain focus.

HPBEME:
If you have set windows to "scroll inactive windows when I hover over them" or you use a 3rd party to give a window focus on mouse hover (as I do with WinAero Tweaker), that effectively takes the place of a physical click.
