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.
