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 great, simple as expected. Advice, get into the options and go the screen , up litf the values for the top of the screen almost to the middle. The click works in the "" hidden "" zones Take care.

Works on edge but not out of the box, you have to go to edge://extensions/shortcuts and set the shortcut CTRL+M manually, also set it to 'In edge' rather than 'global'. that's how i managed to get it running in edge. PS: just copied someone's comment so new users can see this comment without scrolling through years of comments

It DOES work, but the fact that you can't customize the shortcut is pretty frustrating. It conflicts with another extension I have that mutes the tab, so it won't work unless I disable that first. It seems ctrl+m is a pretty common shortcut, so maybe at least pick something more unusual? Maybe ctrl+Q? Or again, customizable would be best.

Debería existir una opción para cambiar el "Ctrl + M" para evitar que entre en conflicto con los acortadores predeterminados del navegador.
