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. ⭐

I got a help from somebody in the review section of hyde extension. I was getting frustrated with ctrl + M not working. Then I found the followng review. Thank you. The review : Didn't work at first. Only muted audio. Thanks to @Ehinomen Justin: "To get the extension working all you just need to do is to go to your browser's extension shortcut page and set "hide/show controls" to Ctrl + M"
