Is it possible to disable zoom when a video is played on iOS?

Question

I found out that I can zoom in and zoom out when I make a two finger gesture on my iOS device when a video is played. Is it possible to disable the zoom so that nothing happens when the user tries to zoom?

var directory = Path.GetDirectoryName("Testvideo1");
var playURL = NSBundle.MainBundle.GetUrlForResource("Testvideo1", "mp4", directory);
var player = new AVPlayer(playURL);
var PlayerViewController = new AVPlayerViewController();
PlayerViewController.Player = player;
PlayerViewController.EntersFullScreenWhenPlaybackBegins = true;//full screen
PlayerViewController.ShowsPlaybackControls = false;
var gameController = this.Services.GetService(typeof(UIViewController)) as UIViewController;
gameController.PresentViewController(PlayerViewController, true, () =>
{
    player.Play();
});
NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter.AddObserver(new NSString("AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification"), (notification) =>
{
    PlayerViewController.DismissViewController(true, null);// add observer to catch the ending event
}, PlayerViewController.Player.CurrentItem);

Hello,

Please set PlayerViewController.View.UserInteractionEnabled = false; When set to NO, touch, press, keyboard, and focus events intended for the view are ignored and removed from the event queue, see userInteractionEnabled | Apple Developer Documentation
