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. ⭐

document.getElementsByClassName('branding-img iv-click-target')[0].style.visibility = 'hidden'; you should add this, if you know what i mean

Works perfectly on Brave as of 2022-11-12. Exactly what I was looking for; removes visual noise/clutter, simple to use, and remappable shortcut. If you're using Brave, just a reminder that the extension shortcuts are NOT set underneath the "Manage extension" option. They're under Settings > Extensions > Keyboard shortcuts or brave://extensions/shortcuts You'll never get there is you instinctively click the "Extensions" logo (like I always do), so you should probably bookmark it. :)

Doesn't work on the new version of Chrome. Works fine with Opera but not in Chrome. Pretty lame for a chrome plugin.

It works well in Opera, but for some reason it doesn't work at all on Chrome. Pls add a feature too for removing the watermark channel on the vids

Works great! Hiding the play bar is very useful when watching esports as the duration of the video can spoil the suspense of a game.
