Live Chat Overlay Extension

Restyle the YouTube popout chat so you can overlay it for livestreams. Install this extension, then use the \"pop out chat\" feature on a YouTube live video.

You can either full-screen the window and bring it into video streaming systems like the ATEM Mini to overlay the chat using a Luma or Chroma key, or you can get a remote URL to bring your chat into OBS, a YoloBox, or Lightstream Studio as a browser source!

Features

* Add the overlay window as a browser source to OBS or other software
* Change the size of the comment displayed to fit more text
* Change the background color of the author name and icon
* Choose between showing the commenter's full name or only their first name
