When playing a video in Photos, how do you make the arrow mouse pointer disappear?

I've tried moving the cursor all over the screen and can't get it to disappear so it's on the screen all the time while playing a video. Can I make it disappear?

The problem is in full screen mode if you drop to the bottom, the icon task bar pops up, go to the top and the upper task bar/menu drops down, to the right you get an arrow pointing to the right that pops up in the right margin (to scroll to the next photo or video, and to the left it pops out the file menu. There is no safe space to hide the cursor as you suggest.
