Description

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.

This plugin does absolutely nothing. Certainly not what I wanted it to, which is to hide youtube overlay-border.

Great extension, but u forgot to also do it for when someone skips 10 seconds. currently, the controls still show for a few seconds then disappear when skipping through vid. u should make them not show or only show for 0.5 seconds instead

Good extension, the problem is that if you use the hotkey, it also hides the mouse cursor, so it's a little annoying. I didn't find a way to avoid that,

It doesn't work when the video is paused so... kind of useless.
