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. ⭐

How to make it work on Brave : RIght click on the Hyde extension icon in toolbar, select "Manage Extension", click on "Keyboard Shortcuts" from the left side menu list on your screen, click the edit icon for "hide/show controls", press the "Ctrl+M" keys on your keyboard. Ensure it is shown as Ctrl+M in the textbox and you are good to go! It works as expected.

Worked perfectly until recently, now it doesn't do anything :( Update: Nevermind, it works just fine with videos when they have regular youtube links, but not when they have 'live' in the link.

Very good Extension. I just have one complain, can you add a way to change the default hotkey "Ctrl+M" with any other combination of keys? or at least a set of options to choose. My problem is that in Brave the "Ctrl+M" is also used to mute the current browser tab. So Brave takes in consideration first the default option to mute the tab and totally ignores the extension.

Works perfectly.. well maintained. Rare need served by this extension but author is dedicated and it never fails my need to get a clean screenshot without the normal HUD.
