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. ⭐

Currently doesn't hide the little slide bar at the bottom on Google Chrome. Probably as a result of YouTube constantly changing their UI randomly.

Works perfectly fine on Google Chrome - CTRL+M successfully hides the UI That said, it does not hide ''watermarks'' or ''bottom right corner logos'' - is this by design?
