Live Chat Overlay Extension Chrome

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!

* Change the size of the comment displayed to fit more text
* Change the background color of the author name and icon
