Description from store
Does YouTube™ leave the video controls visible for longer than you like? Do you want to have a hotkey that toggles the controls?
This add-on let's you:
- Hide the video controls when you move the cursor to any border
- Hide the video controls and only show them when you want.
- Toggle the controls when you press a hotkey
- Hide some video overlays
- Hide the play/pause animation
In the add-on settings you can configure the individual sides as well as the hotkey.
If you experience any issues, please let me know at https://github.com/nralbrecht/youtube-hide-controls/issues
Note: The add-on currently does not work with embedded YouTube™ players.

- (2023-10-08) 이건한: Works perfectly, no annoying buggy behaviors like other extensions do. Also very easy to use
- (2023-09-17) Drive 0001: Does the Job perfectly. Whether its hiding the progress bas and the controls, or be it be the video overlays at the end of a video it works perfectly. You can also add your custom hotkey to hide controls. Bonus: even hides the play pause animation, thus giving us a clear screen with no interrupts in the video.
- (2023-09-08) Tristan LaCombe: Really works well, lots of options for customization (which is how all software should be!). I am picky when it comes to programs, but this one is approved!

- (2023-03-01) Juan Carlos Buenaventura: Works & Does what is intended. Very useful.
- (2022-11-24) Nicolas Maldonado: Excellent extension it does exactly what it says. I set up D as the shortcut because is next to F (which is used for full screen), also because J K and L are taken for rewind pause/play and forward. I love using keyboard shortcuts and this is great. The main reason I installed it is because sometimes (especially during tutorials) important information is unreadable behind the progress bar and controls when you pause the video and there was no way to hide it. This extensions solves that problem. Great Job!!!
- (2022-11-22) Alfire 414: it is an indispensable extension for youtube to be able to pause the video without the controls that makes it the best of all extensions, many thanks to the creator.

- (2022-03-21) Jimmy Lundberg: This is a godsend. Thank you for making this! Note: re-open or hard refresh (ctrl+F5) YouTube after adding the extension.
- (2022-02-01) Dheerendra: Works well. Just move the cursor to the edge.
- (2022-01-04) Krzysiek Wilczyński: In my case on Microsoft Edge i just move cursor to the edge of screen while in full screen mode and bar disappears. Just what i needed.
- (2021-11-25) gD - Lacey Stinson: In Vivaldi, it works using a hotkey, but not by moving cursor to screen edge (fullscreen video). Make sure the hotkey you choose is not already being used: Vivaldi Setup-->Keyboard.
- (2021-08-20) גיא ל: Works great, exactly what I needed. Best to invert action with big buttom margins.
- (2021-08-12) Evgeny Usoltcev: Excellent. On pause, completely clears the picture from controls. (Yandex Browser)
- (2021-07-19) THOR A: It doesn't work when the video is paused so... kind of useless.
- (2021-07-18) Mi: The best

- (2023-06-30, v:3.1.4) Peter Bacon: Is there an extension that hides the top title but keeps the controls at the bottom?
That's what I'm looking for - (2022-12-02, v:3.0.3) Alfire 414: installation problem
I try to click on the ¨Add to chrome¨ button but I get an error where it says ¨Could not unzip the extension¨. I could give a solution since I have installed other extensions but specifically this one I cannot install, I would appreciate it since it is one of the best
