Image from store Live Chat Overlay

Description from store Restyle the YouTube popout chat so you can overlay it for livestreams. Install this extension, then use the "pop out chat" feature on a YouTube live video. You can either full-screen the window and bring it into video streaming systems like the ATEM Mini to overlay the chat using a Luma or Chroma key, or you can get a remote URL to bring your chat into OBS, a YoloBox, or Lightstream Studio as a browser source! Features * Add the overlay window as a browser source to OBS or other software * Change the size of the comment displayed to fit more text * Change the background color of the author name and icon * Choose between showing the commenter's full name or only their first name * Configure a list of highlight words * Auto-hide messages after a set length of time Changes 0.3.8 * Fix for scroll bar disappearing after clicking a message * Hides the moderation dropdown menu completely so that it doesn't appear on top of the chat window 0.3.7 * Adds an option to use a persistent session ID for all your livestreams * Prevents the dropdown menu from appearing over the chats when you click them 0.3.6 * Adds a new setting to set the remote server URL separate from the overlay window URL 0.3.5 * Support more membership actions: upgraded a membership, gifted a membership, membership milestone chats * Fixed Super Stickers 0.3.3 * Adds a barely visible white overlay on top of avatars to prevent luma key from making avatars transparent * Fixes SuperChat dollar amount display * Minor bugfixes and improvements 0.3.0 * Hides the "Get Overlay URL" button when clicked * Updates to Google Manifest v3 for faster future review times 0.2.4 * Adds an option to auto-hide messages after a set length of time * Highlights the active message in green in the list * Click on an active message to hide it * Minor bugfixes and improvements 0.2.3 * Only shows the chat messages on the remote window when in browser source mode 0.2.2 * Fixes an issue with the browser overlay on first launch 0.2.1 * Adds a new "Get Overlay URL" button to be able to bring the chat in as a browser source to OBS or other software

(2022-03-04) Keith Bennett: Thanks for this tool. I mentioned it in my Live Stream this week and also linked to your Two videos Aaron on your channel. I appreciate this plugin. Great tool I use it with OBS and the Blackmagic ATEM EXTREME ISO for my Live Shows!
(2022-01-08) Raulff Relucio: Wow! It really worked. Very easy to setup. I hope we also have one for FB. Thank you so much Aaron!!! Much love from the Philippines
(2021-12-08) The Driver Sensei: Great idea and awesome way to implement features from other platforms into YouTube. The only issue is getting support with actually getting the extension to work within OBS. I have it set as as browser, yet the browser is only capturing the main portion of the text box, not the extended area below the YouTube chat area. Don't know where to go for technical support so using this extension seems worthless.

(2020-12-03) Peter Baumann: Works really nicely for YT chat ovelays in OBS
(2020-10-14) Thomas Fechtenburg: Works flawlessly. I would like the name to be a bit less black, so it would be easier to find the right balance between clip and gain. Right now the text is transparrent, when I try to use the add on, with my ATEM Mini Pro. Great work, and very easy to install and use ;0)
