YouTube: Hide & Show Controls wot Yikon

YouTube Control Hider gives you a distraction-free way to watch videos by letting you toggle YouTube’s playback controls with a single shortcut.

Features

• Toggle Controls
  Press Ctrl+Q to hide all YouTube playback controls (timeline, buttons, overlays, gradients, tooltips).
  Press Ctrl+Q again to bring them back instantly.
• Minimalist Overlay
  Hold down the Spacebar to display a “2x” overlay. Release the Spacebar and the overlay disappears while controls stay in their current state.
• Distraction-Free Watching
  Even if you move your mouse or hover over the player, the controls will remain hidden until you choose to show them again.

Why Use It?

Perfect for:

• Watching movies or lectures without visual clutter.
• Keeping the screen clean when recording, streaming, or presenting.
• A more immersive, theater-like YouTube experience.

How It Works

• The extension injects a lightweight script into YouTube pages.
• It adds a CSS class to the video player that completely hides the controls.
• Keyboard shortcuts handle toggling and overlay display, with zero background scripts or heavy processing.

Notes

• This extension does not track or store any data.
• It only modifies YouTube’s appearance locally on your device.

Enjoy a cleaner, more focused YouTube experience with YouTube Control Hider!
