YouTubeDiscordPresence Extension

Show your friends and others what you're watching on YouTube and YouTube Music!

In order for YouTubeDiscordPresence to work, a second desktop application needs to be installed on your computer based on the GitHub instructions: https://github.com/XFG16/YouTubeDiscordPresence/tree/main#installation

**The current version only supports the 64-bit version of Windows. YouTubeDiscordPresence does not support the browser version of Discord. Expect compatibility for other operating systems in the future.**

YouTubeDiscordPresence works similar to the Spotify rich presence on Discord—it only appears when a video is playing and disappears when there is no video or the video is paused. Idling and searching are not displayed.

Maximize your experience with YouTubeDiscordPresence by customizing your settings! To the settings page, click on the small YTDP icon on the top right of the browser under the extensions (puzzle piece) icon.

Damon Praisesthesun (ID: 0000005559d78ede) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/04/2023 I found this randomly while setting up the MAL-Sync version on new browser and it really is super easy to setup and works smoothly :3 If you pin the extension you can just click it and toggle it off to stop it from working if you don't want to broadcast something If you pause the video or anything it disappears though, it would be even better if it showed pausing and stuff but it's still great as is, good stuff dev
