Video Mouse Hider
Description from store

This extension hides your mouse when idle over videos. YouTube™ and HBO Max and others have this built-in already.

Supported Websites:
✔ Hulu
✔ Vimeo
✔ Dailymotion
✔ and many more

You can also set a keyboard shortcut to manually hide the cursor (hovering over video or fullscreen not required).

Contact me if there's a specific website you'd like me to add specific timeout settings for. By default the idle time is set to 2 seconds after the last mouse movement. YouTube, for example, has a 4 second idle time so that the mouse hides when for the player interface gets hidden too.

⚠️ Troubleshooting and Notes:
▸ It appears that Chrome extensions that hide the mouse cursor require the mouse to be moved after the pages loads. I haven't found a way around this.
▸ Some website video players resist cursor hiding. I found a work-around for fullscreen videos but I'm not aware of a solution when videos are not fullscreen.

Want to zoom, rotate, stretch or flip video?

This extension actually works perfectly. It gets rid of the pointer on most sites. If the pointer doesn't disappear, just press the hotkey you set. Perfect. thanks.
