Miguel Macias (ID: 000000e2684f31ee) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/01/2023 This works great! Only downside is it doesn't appear to work on chat replays. I was wondering if it would be possible to add this feature

Freddy Fear (ID: 000000d1e6b9645a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/10/2022 works great. i prefer this over 'swapmeetshops' version which is very buggy/spammy. although ive noticed during live streams the chat will constantly disconnect/reconnect

Piotr Mucha (ID: 000000b23e07b221) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/01/2022 For me works fine. Take into consideration that If you join chat, visit channel option is visible only for new messages.
