Twitch Theater Mode for YouTube
- Live on Store
Changes YouTube theater mode to resemble Twitch theater mode when chat is enabled
TTM expands the main video view and moves the chat box to the right hand side. Additionally, all other on-screen elements get hidden. All changes revert upon leaving theater mode.
Leave a comment in the reviews if things bug out and I'll fix them over time. 👍
(v5.02 Updated March 2025: updated internal "manifest" file version to v3 to appease Chrome)
v5.01 Updated March 7 2024: fix for chatbox being short or hidden when window is narrow
v5.00 Updated March 2024: made modifications accounting for YouTube's Theater Mode Update
v4.00 Updated June 2023! 🥳🎉
(pre-v4.00 Updated June 2020... 😓)

Worked great, but partially broken by a recent YouTube update. Videos no longer properly take up the entire available space, instead using the same proportions as regular YT Theater Mode with the top bar and video details visible. Not a huge deal, but a loss in functionality nonetheless.
Very cool!
doesn't work at all
Broken. Installed Extension and nothing changed, Tried Fullscreen, Cinema Mode etc, No new buttons to try switch to theatre mode etc, nothing has changed. I do not know if it's broken since the last review on Jul 6th or if being on opera has changed anything with this extension. But either way it does not work.
sometimes it bugged out, and won't work.
Works awesome, just press Cinema and it works

Very good extension, only the chat is a bit too wide, so the video gets letter-boxed.
extension is broken when switching to normal view and youtube does not load properly
Don't know if it was a recent update with Youtube or this extension but recently the size of the video doesn't change when going into theatre mode. There's just a large black box around the video. Worked fine before this other than needing to refresh the first time
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for.
doesn't work
it glitched out and now the chat is over the livestream

I have tried many extensions and feel that this extension works the most like Twitch's theater mode. Thank you so much. (This comment was translated by DeepL)

This extension is the only reason for me to watch live streams on youtube. unfortunately it broke a bit and now the chat is overlaid on top of the video, and also now there are "remnants" of the page outside the video player's borders. without this extension, watching live broadcasts is horrible and that's why I just don't watch them

Works well most of the time, it doesn't catch if u enter a livestream with theater mode already enabled and also seems to be a memory leak(prob from something related to chat, maybe storing too many messages in memory?)

Works like a charm, if still not try refresh a bit, and change back and forth between teather mode and default one

Updated quickly when it broke, been using it for years.

I love you, best extension ever! Little bug: The profile picture from the channel is twice times in the upper left corner.

Pretty annoying that I have to always remember to switch back to default mode after leaving the live stream. Otherwise it would break the next video/live stream. This has been an issue for a long time and it needed to be fixed.

Thank you
Works sometimes then suddenly stops working. You have to uninstall the extension the install it again to get it working again. Rinse and repeat the process many times a week. Unreliable but great when it does work.

¿Podrias hacer que se pueda aumentar la Font del chat? se ve pequeño. Saludos.
FINALLY watching streams on YT without half the screen being dead space.

Perfect. Thanks for making YouTube live experience decent, something that YouTube themselves can't do apparently. They wanna beat Twitch but can't even give people a decent experience and implement stupid features instead of useful ones.

Amazing extension, bravo to the creator. Just refresh YouTube, click Theater Mode on any video with a live chat or live chat replay, then CTRL+ make chat bigger and CTRL- to make the video bigger.

When it works, it's very nice. However, regular Theater mode constantly breaks for normal videos that aren't live streams, meaning the chat bar still shows up on the right when there is no chat. Very annoying as I have to constantly disable and re-enable the extension.
