really works well........very useful for removing controls when you are spinning your mouse around a 360 degree video in full screen.......or other VR videos and 3D videos....THANKS

I was hoping I'd be able to hide the controls the entire time until I deactivated it again. Apparently, it is useful when the video is paused, but if I adjust the progress of the video, it shows up again and I have to keep clicking the button each time.

the way to enable this in fullscreen is to open chrome://extensions/configureCommands and assign a shortcut (like Ctrl+H) to: HideYoutubeControls → Activate the extension now when you're in fullscreen just hit Ctrl+H to hide controls. Works perfect!
