Live Thread Ticker Extension

Live Thread Ticker (LTT) is an open source extension that adds a ticker to the top or bottom of video streams to display live comments from Reddit game threads.

How to Use: After downloading the extension, go to the game thread comments page within reddit for the desired sporting event and copy the full URL, paste the URL into the extension, then go wherever you stream the sporting event from and play the stream. The ticker will load the comments as they come in live and display them above or below the video stream.

This extension also includes the following user settings:
- Comment Delay Time: allows you to set a customizable time delay to the comments so you can match the timing with your stream to avoid any spoilers
- Display Location: allows you to set the ticker to display at the top or bottom of the video stream
- Upvote Display Minimum: allows you to filter out displaying comments below a set number of upvotes
- Font Size: allows you to set how large the ticker should be
- Text Filter: allows you to suppress comments from displaying that contain any keywords that you enter

Jessica Simeral (ID: 000000bd4a816a33) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/21/2022 Pretty cool idea, can't believe I haven't seen it already. Works well for me! No longer have to constantly look at my phone to see what people are saying on reddit about the game. Would be cool if it let me set the font size, other than that, definitely recommend!
