I would like to embed a video in a pdf that starts and stops playing by using the mouse to click the buttons

Following

I devised a code:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{multimedia}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
  \movie{movie}{penguins.mp4} %from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9iXD2-hbJM 
\end{frame}
\end{document}

What I get is a page

that does not contain the slightest hint of the embedded movie. How to improve this solution?

What about \movie{\includegraphics{AMdWB}}{penguins.mp4}? (Using https://i.stack.imgur.com/AMdWB.png) – AlexG Nov 27 '19 at 20:28
@AlexG those are actual buttons that I should be able to click with a mouse. – Viesturs Nov 27 '19 at 20:36

If you click them, the video should start playing, provided you are using the right PDF viewer. – AlexG Nov 27 '19 at 20:40
@AlexG I use okular – Viesturs Nov 27 '19 at 20:46
Well, what happens if you click? – AlexG Nov 27 '19 at 20:47
@AlexG nothing at all – Viesturs Nov 27 '19 at 20:50
But it should :(. Did you see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/345431 ? – AlexG Nov 27 '19 at 21:04
@AlexG I have no idea what is wrong – Viesturs Nov 27 '19 at 21:11
Is penguins.mp4 in the same directory as the PDF? – AlexG Nov 27 '19 at 21:16
@AlexG, yes it is – Viesturs Nov 27 '19 at 21:16
Try other pdf viewers like evince to see if that is the issue – jsb Nov 27 '19 at 23:07
@jsb, with evince the movie plays by clicking on the placeholder. A separate OpenGL window opens. But I am not able to replay the movie, nor pause and resume. – Viesturs Nov 28 '19 at 07:33
