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. ⭐

Default Brave ctrl+m keybinding is to mute the current tab. brave://extensions/shortcuts Copy and paste the above address into your address bar and set the Hyde extension "hide/show controls" keybinding to whatever you like. If set to ctrl+m you will no longer have the ability to mute your current tab.

The progress bar for the video still gets shown, but the recent fix I found is simply to just remove and re-add the extension. thanks! I was able to get so many desktop wallpapers with this bad boy.

Sometime recently, the progress bar for the video no longer gets hidden. Controls still get hidden, though.

November, 6. 2024 Its woking amazingly well, perfect. I recently discovered this Extension and i'm loving it, i press one or two times Ctrl+M and it washes away all the visual interruption from the youtube videos. Thanks hyde. 6, Noviembre 2024 Anda perfecto lo conocí hace poco y lo instale, y ahora lo amo. Apreto una o dos veces Ctrl+M y me deja ver los videos con cero interrupcion visual.
