YouTube Stream Page Extension

Live streams on YouTube have never looked better before! With YouTube Stream Page you get a screen filling video feed, with a chat window that stretches across the entire height of the window.

Sadly, YouTube retired the YouTube Gaming streaming interface, an now you have two bad options, which are particularly annoying on big screens:
- small video, with a small chat window next to it
- big video, with chat below the video

YouTube Stream Page aims to bring back some of that good ol' YouTube Gaming experience. :)
