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 perfectly for me! As others have said, you need to go to the Keyboard Shortcuts page in Extensions and set the shortcut.

On Edge this works too, you need to set the hot key in edge://extensions/shortcuts (for Example: Ctrl+M). Thanks Екатерина
