html5 : how to prevent pause button when clicked?

I have a <video controls> element

When I click on the video (inside the video content), video pauses (Chrome). Is there a way to prevent that (but I still need controls be enabled) ? So solution like:

 pointer-events: none;

will not work for me (User should be able to pause the video clicking on play / pause control button), but not clicking inside the video

Add a click eventhandler to the given video and call preventDefault.

document.querySelector('video').addEventListener('click', (e) => e.preventDefault() )

The control will still work, but clicking on the video will not play/pause it.
