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. ⭐

I wanted to hide the play controls while paused. I searched on Google for a method. This came up and I installed it. Now I can hide the play controls while paused.
