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. ⭐

does exactly as it says. shame it has to be a keybind though, would have no clue what it is if it wasn't listed here, and i'll likely forget it soon. perhaps you could make a button on the play bar? i know some extensions do it. you could add the button there and have the escape key bring it back
