    Adding this to settings worked:

      "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorHint.foreground": "#00000000"
  }

    Given that your intention for this is specifically about taking screenshots or videos rather than day-to-day work, I suggest that you start by getting some "Presentation Mode" extension (there are a few in the Extension store, not recommending any).

    These extensions make it easy to apply a set of UI customizations while you are in presentation mode, then reset those customizations when you leave presentation mode. That saves you time and makes it less likely that you forget to reset your settings when getting back to work.

    By default, most of these extensions will perform some or all of the following customizations: increase font size, remove scroll bars, hide status bar, nav bar and other panels, select a specific color theme, execute some commands, etc. Most also allows you to specify custom color theme modifications to enable while you are in presentation mode.

    As you already found out, the setting for that specific decoration is editorHint.foreground, but you may also want to have a look at editorInfo, editorWarning, editorError, and editorUnnecessary all of which produce similar visual decorations. To hide a decorator, make sure to set its color’s alpha to 0, rather than matching the color of the background, so that it remains hidden even if the background turns out to be different that what you expect (eg. text is selected).
