This option hides the sidebar in the watch page when it's empty - if you're using Default view and hiding Related videos, this allows the player to take up more space, and centers the layout. The sidebar will reappear if something gets displayed in it, e.g. if you open the video transcript.

Video in Default view	+ Hide related videos

+ Hide sidebar when empty	Sidebar reappearing when Transcript is opened

This option ensures the preference for Stable Volume off is set, automatically reapplying it if it somehow gets turned back on, removed or expired.
