YT Video Shutoff

Black out the YouTube video while audio and controls keep working. Click the toolbar icon to toggle.

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.
