Just hide it visibly with a toggle somewhere.

gotta avoid violating youtube ToS, but i think streaming the video to a hidden div is ok so long as it isnt default.

I'd be ok writing a TampermonkeyScript to toggle this if you dont want to violate the TOS. I wish we could just hide the video stream but keep the player visible so the "ads" show and YT doesn't get anal.

Hiding the video portion of an embedded stream violates YT ToS. Even though I have a handy div around just the video that doesnt affect the page layout if you were to hide it. I mean, its as simple as $('#screen').hide(), but sadly I cannot legally enable it by default, or encourage you to use any sort of js/jquery command to hide the stream.
