Youtube – Hide player controls while fullscreen in YouTube

youtube

Is it possible to prevent YouTube's (HTML5) fullscreen player controls from showing whenever it first goes into fullscreen mode?

Like, don't show this automatically (at all):

Youtube Controls

I want it to still show if I move the mouse, as it does now.

I couldn't find anything in about:config on Firefox about this, only settings to disable the fullscreen button and the warning:

This page is now in fullscreen.

You can either disable it for good or leave it enabled. You can't have both states in full-screen at once. Controls can be controlled in <iframe> by:

  • controls=0 - player controls do not display in the player
  • controls=1 (default) - player controls display in the player
