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. ⭐

As XxunoriginalgamingxX said, I would also love an update with an option to not hide the time bar or other elements of the YouTube video controls if we want to. And since there are some reviews mentioning it here, you can indeed customise/change the shortcut (at least in Chrome, not sure about other browsers) here: https://ibb.co/d47x3gQ.

Please give option to customize the shortcut. ctrl + M is for mute on most of the browser. It will be better if user can customize this shortcut
