PiP Sync Extension

Toggling signed interpretations on YouTube at the click of a button.

* NEW in Version 1.0.7 *
Various bug fixes and improvements.

* How It Works *
Video creators and companies who wish to add deaf and hard of hearing accessibility to their videos commission an interpretation via pipsync.org. Once the interpretation is complete, we registered the videos in our extensions database, allowing anyone who uses the extension to toggle the interpretation with the click of a button.

* How to Get It *
Install the extension into your Chrome browser. Once installed, all the interpreted content in our database will automatically appear and sync in your YouTube player!

* Which Videos? *
PiP Sync is only enabled for content that has been commissioned through our organization. If there are videos that you wish to have interpreted, refer them to us at pipsync.org and we can work together to get the video/s interpreted and registered in our database. As soon as the video is finished and linked to our extension, it will become available for all users.
