I got a help from somebody in the review section of hyde extension. I was getting frustrated with ctrl + M not working. Then I found the followng review. Thank you. The review : Didn't work at first. Only muted audio. Thanks to @Ehinomen Justin: "To get the extension working all you just need to do is to go to your browser's extension shortcut page and set "hide/show controls" to Ctrl + M"

it works thanks for build this 👌

It mostly works but it still shows the giant play button in the middle of the screen.

не работает, оно у меня меняет только громкость, либо 0, либо 100%

simple and straight to the point. youtube ui getting in your way? add a toggle for it. free and exactly what's advertised. wonderful.

tam ihtiyacım olan şey, üniversitede hayat kurtarır.

it does what it claims

initially it didn't work on edge but i just had to set the shortcut manually

Amazing extension, idk why google hasn't alrd implemented this by default. It's super useful for getting the perfect screenshot

it works and does exactly what it says it does.

Works great in 2025

It worked perfectly until recently where youtube started to push a new clunky player design into beta test. your plugin still does good as long as I watch videos on the in-page player, but when I'm fullscreen, hyde doesn't know how to hide the thumbnails of "MORE VIDEOS" peeking from the under side. Hyde blocks the title bar, player controls and all that jazz, but this new addition of "new videos" shelf that can be dragged up by a mouse gesture or key V, but is protruding in the normal state as long as the player controls are supposed to be visible.

Es espectacular. Ctrl+M y a tomar por c*ulo la barra. Ahora puedo ver tranquilamente videos de youtube adelantandolos y atrasandolos todo lo que me de la gana sin que la barra esté ahí molestando. Una barbaridad. Si no os funciona cambiad los shortcuts de vuestro navegador y no vengais a poner reseñas negativas, que está muy bien

en Brave funciona, y podes cambiar el shortcut en " brave://extensions/shortcuts ". Te aparecen dos opciones para cambiar el shortcut, la que tenes que cambiar a gusto es " hide/show controls "

Didn't work at first. Only muted audio. Thanks to @Ehinomen Justin: "To get the extension working all you just need to do is to go to your browser's extension shortcut page and set "hide/show controls" to Ctrl + M"

didnt work

Funktioniert leider nicht. Schade

When I downloaded the extension on edge it didn't work. Instead the edge browser would just simply mute the tab whenever I pressed ctrl + M. This led me on a wild goose chase to try disabling the specific ctrl + M shortcut in group policy settings and whatnot. To get the extension working all you just need to do is to go to your browser's extension shortcut page and set "hide/show controls" to Ctrl + M. Man what a pain

Can you make this for mozzila I am switching due to manifest 3 changes

Perfect.

Works great for me, ( Chrome on Windows 7 )

Doesn't work anymore

You're a King, thank you

Easy to use. Sometime didn't show bar in one click but not that often and easily fixed.

It used to work but not now, so I got a certain AI to make a user script for me that works as a replacement made even better.

Sí funciona en brave, tienen que elegir su combinación, no la que viene predeterminada, esto se hace yendo a brave://extensions/shortcuts y elegir el atajo que enseñe/esconda extensión :D

Kinda works, but it still shows the progress bar on Chrome for me.

it works very well on Chrome, but i recently changed to Brave and it doesn't work here, can it be updated or is there an alternative?

How to make it work on Brave : RIght click on the Hyde extension icon in toolbar, select "Manage Extension", click on "Keyboard Shortcuts" from the left side menu list on your screen, click the edit icon for "hide/show controls", press the "Ctrl+M" keys on your keyboard. Ensure it is shown as Ctrl+M in the textbox and you are good to go! It works as expected.

Worked perfectly until recently, now it doesn't do anything :( Update: Nevermind, it works just fine with videos when they have regular youtube links, but not when they have 'live' in the link.

Very good Extension. I just have one complain, can you add a way to change the default hotkey "Ctrl+M" with any other combination of keys? or at least a set of options to choose. My problem is that in Brave the "Ctrl+M" is also used to mute the current browser tab. So Brave takes in consideration first the default option to mute the tab and totally ignores the extension.

Awesome tool, thank you!

no funciona en brave solo te mutea el video

doesn't work. Pressing ctrl+M nothing happens

Works perfectly.. well maintained. Rare need served by this extension but author is dedicated and it never fails my need to get a clean screenshot without the normal HUD.

Hello, it works fine on Google Chrome but I hope it will be added to MS Edge as well as I use it more often. Thank you for this!

searching the site for 1 year

Perfeito

No sirve, solo mutea el video.

doesn't work.

Funcionó perfecto en Brave, muchas gracias. Deben configurar las teclas para ocultar los controles en Accesos Directos en la configuración de extensiones y pueden poner la combinación de teclas que deseen con Control o Alt.

Awesome. Thanks!

лучшее, что создало человечество

Amazing, just what I needed!

very useful, thanks🙏

Works perfectly for me! As others have said, you need to go to the Keyboard Shortcuts page in Extensions and set the shortcut.

As others are saying it still leaves the red progress bar.

Right now it have an error it shows video progress bar . Make some changes soon .

Awesome extensions! Love this!!!

great, on microsoft edge you need to set the shortcut in order to the extension to work properly

Works amazing!
