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. ⭐

Is there an extension that hides the top title but keeps the controls at the bottom?

Works great on Google Chrome, but doesn't work with MS Edge because CTRL+M is already a shortcut on MS Edge (mute sound).

Works well! Potential changes: 1) It would be nice if we could change the shortcut given Cmd+M is also the shortcut to minimize a window. 2) It would be nice if we could bring back the progress bar with a shortcut rather than refreshing the page.

Works OK for normal YouTube vids, but does not hide the advertisement info or prompt on ads, and does not hide any of the overlays on shorts.

It worked on chrome. But when I using this over Edge. Ctrl + M is muting now. So some kind over overwrite or work around would be nice.
