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. ⭐

Finally!! I've been wanting to do this for a while and stumbled upon this amazing extension. I can now pause my videos and take notes in piece.

This is amazing! It works, and does exactly what it needs to. Now I can finally kill that stupid gradient that takes up half the screen.

It doesn't work for me anymore. The progress bar and video title disappear, but the play/pause button is still there. It used to disappear.
