Bree Vwhyman (ID: 0000008647febb7f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/05/2019 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

Chicken GJ (ID: 000000810fe87fb0) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/22/2017 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.

Allan Laal (ID: 0000007a787ad777) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/08/2017 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!
