About

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.
