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. ⭐

This would be a five stars, but even if I hide the youtube bar, hovering a mouse over a video still make subtitle bob up as if the bar appear. Please fix it

It's just unbelievable how annoying these corporations are that they don't give people what they want. Extension author, thank you very much!
