Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

When you pause a YouTube video, the player controls don't disappear. That makes it really hard to take a clean screenshot of the video. The controls also block your view, which can get really annoying. Hyde is a simple Chrome extension that allows you to hide or show the video player controls easily.

⭐ Simply use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M to hide the controls or show them again. ⭐

Hard-coding hotkeys (rather than letting the user specify their own) is lazy, user hostile, and poor development practice. Hard-coding a hotkey to the same as an existing frequently-used function (Ctrl+M = mute audio) is sheer idiocy, and results in this extension not working at all on my browser because the hotkey just mutes audio instead.
