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. ⭐

Es espectacular. Ctrl+M y a tomar por c*ulo la barra. Ahora puedo ver tranquilamente videos de youtube adelantandolos y atrasandolos todo lo que me de la gana sin que la barra esté ahí molestando. Una barbaridad. Si no os funciona cambiad los shortcuts de vuestro navegador y no vengais a poner reseñas negativas, que está muy bien

en Brave funciona, y podes cambiar el shortcut en " brave://extensions/shortcuts ". Te aparecen dos opciones para cambiar el shortcut, la que tenes que cambiar a gusto es " hide/show controls "

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"
