I don't think so. Just like the menu bar, the touchbar changes according to the frontmost application.

Hide menu bar in full screen only while watching videos but not on the other apps I know the feature of making the menu bar invisible or visible, I prefer using the menu bar visible all the time except when I am watching something on Safari on Netflix or so. But when I activate making the menu bar invisible on fullscreen, this also applies when I am researching Safari full screen. Is there a way to use apps full screen with the menu bar visible but invisible while playing videos?
