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. ⭐

It works on Chrome, but not on Microsoft Edge, as CTRL + M is the key short cut for muting tab. Please allow users to set their own key binds, as this extension is very convenient. Thanks.

For the most part does what it advertises, but the progress bar remains even when paused.

Doesn't hide the giant youtube icon that appears in the middle of the video, kinda defeats the whole point of the extension.
