Summary
When you pause a YouTube video, the player controls don't disappear. That makes it really hard to take a clean screenshot of the video. The controls also block your view, which can get really annoying. Hyde is a simple Chrome extension that allows you to hide or show the video player controls easily.
⭐ Simply use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M to hide the controls or show them again.

worked, very simple
soo helpful
This works, for anyone who is using brave browser and it doesn't work, you need to go into "keyboard shortcuts" (In the sidebar: Extensions -> Keyboard shortcuts) menu, find the extension (you should find a list of extensions) and set the shortcut for this exact extension. You may need to disable the ctrl+m shortcut in the "shortcuts" menu as well for toggle tab mute. You can also set it to any shortcut with this method (which is nice).
