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. ⭐

Works nicely, but I have a question. When you pause and play a video on desktop, an icon appears in the center of the screen. Is there a way to remove this as well? Many thanks.

Does exactly what it says! I also reviewed the source code and confirmed it wasn't doing anything it doesn't say. :)

Please add button to enable/disable feature, Ctrl+M is not a suitable method sometimes.

Youtube's player UI is very intrusive and annoying, this extension is VERY necessary, yet very simple and efficient. Sometimes it doesn't work, I don't know why, but I can do nothing about it so I'll take it when it does.
