pause button
Halts the video
A pause button temporarily stops playback of audio, video, or other media without returning to the beginning—distinguishing it from stop.
The symbol is two parallel vertical bars.
Figuratively, to hit the pause button on something is to suspend activity with the intention of resuming: Let's hit the pause button on this project until we have more funding.
