When you pause a YouTube video, the player controls don't disappear. That makes it hard to take a clean screenshot of the video. The controls also block your view, which can get annoying. ⭐ Simply use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M to hide/show the controls. ⭐

Hi! I'm a 17-year-old and this is my first time launching on ProductHunt! I noticed that when a YouTube video was paused, the video player controls didn't disappear. This made it really hard to take a clean screenshot of a video at a specific time. That's why I built this Chrome extension that allows you to hide/show the controls at will! Let me know what you think of the product. Thanks!

Thanks for the great extension, it is the only one I found on chrome webstore to do this. I must ask though: as a user who recently switched from firefox and has been using an extension "YouTube Autohide by SWB" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US... - can you add a functionality to your extension where a user would have an option to choose to hide the youtube controls automatically when paused, instead of having to click CTRL + M? Thank you!
