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. ⭐

Does this extension work on Microsoft Edge? I hit the Ctrl+M controls and it didn't happen.

Useless extension because it doesn't get rid of the big fat PLAY > button in the middle of the screen. So what's the point of this extension??

if you're on Microsoft Edge (chromium version) You need to go to extensions and on the top left hit keyboard shortcuts scroll down until you find Hyde and set a shortcut for hide/show controls. It will not work without doing this step. You can still use Ctrl + M.
