About

Hide the YouTube video and keep the audio. Flip a switch and the picture goes black while the sound keeps playing and every control still works — perfect for following a talk, podcast, or lecture without the video pulling your attention.

• One click to toggle — the toolbar icon is red when on, gray when off.
• Audio never stops; only the picture is covered.
• Play/pause, scrubber, speed, captions, and fullscreen all stay usable.
• Stays on across page loads and new videos until you turn it off.
• Lightweight and private: works only on YouTube watch pages, uses one permission to remember your setting, and never sends data anywhere.
