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. ⭐

If it does not hide the play bar, just refresh the tab and try again. Works.

Worked precisely as intended on my Macbook. Though I had to press ⌘M instead of Ctrl-M to make it work, that's pretty much how it goes for every single application on that operating system, so it's no problem for me.
