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. ⭐

On Edge, Ctrl+M is the shortcut to mute a tab. Could you add the function to make the shortcut whatever you want?

With CTRL + M (The youtube sound is MUTE) (I use Edge browser) Fix this (It seems to be a very good extension)
