About Hide YouTube Player Controls for Videos & Shorts
Hide overlaying elements on YouTube and Shorts players (scrollbar, buttons, gradients, titles, etc.) with a single shortcut.
Enhance your YouTube viewing experience with our Chrome extension that allows you to hide all video player controls, including buttons, scrollbar, title, and other elements that may be obscuring your view, while keeping the scrollbar visible for Shorts. Simply press a shortcut to activate it.
Default Shortcut:
Windows: Alt + H Mac: Option + H
You can easily customize this shortcut by visiting chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
This extension works seamlessly with both standard YouTube videos and YouTube Shorts. It can be particularly useful when the video is paused, as controls can obscure important information, such as subtitles or code. With this extension, you can take clean screenshots or simply enjoy a clearer viewing experience.

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
