Latest reviews
- (2024-01-03) Omarock: Amazing extension! I would suggest adding support for full screen and vertical resolutions (kinda like "Enable Portrait Mode " option on FrankerZ extension for twitch where it places chat under or over the video), would take it to the next level!
- (2023-12-08) 蔡昆翰: Theater Mode switch button disappear after this extension updated...sad 2023/06/18: It works now 0.0 2023/12/08: not working again, my screen look like this => tpyuJig.png (imgur)
- (2023-11-24) Haidaruddin Muhammad Ramdhan: YouTube broke it again 😭 (19 Aug 2023) Edit: Version 4.0.3 Fixed it 💖💖 (21 Aug 2023) Edit: YouTube broke it again (22 Aug 2023) Edit: Updated to v4.0.4 and everything works perfectly (23 Aug 2023)
- (2023-11-02) Scott Collins: This was exactly what I needed to enjoy watching live streams on YouTube. I don't understand why YouTube hides chat below when in theater mode.
- (2023-11-02) Wahyu Bayu: Must use Best Theater mode For Youtube, i think better than TTM for youtube
- (2023-11-01) julian.c: I think this extension is great. But I don't like how the stream/video's description is over the footage. There should be an option for me to remove it.
- (2023-10-29) Rebecca Lynch (Neekerbreeker): Fantastic. It does what I need and is easy to use. I will be donating to this developer because this extension truly makes my life better <3
- (2023-10-28) Eratas: must have
- (2023-10-18) Peter Prieboj: Thank you. Just installed and its working. Good job. Thanks
- (2023-09-04) Maxim Martsinkevich: Great extension
- (2023-09-01) Jhoan: Looks good, hope it's optimized to work when in the thirds grid on a vertical monitor like Twitch and Kick do.
- (2023-08-24) Marko Majalahti: If you are used to the experience on that other streaming site then this is a must. Makes yt livestreams so much nicer to watch. Great extension.
- (2023-08-24) Indra Ida Bagus: Significantly improves live-chat experience. Reasonably configurable with things like auto enter theater mode and how to display description. Dev is active, which is very important because youtube keep breaking things.
- (2023-08-23) Peter Sun: It was fixed for a short while until today and it stops working again (could be chrome update, idk). It now shows chat but with black screen and audio, no video. Edit: Fixed again as of 8/23.
- (2023-08-23) Fang Du: It seems like this app doesn't work at all. I used "Twitch Theater Mode for YouTube" before, and it became broken today earlier, so I tried this one instead, but it also doesn't work. I feel like the cause is probably on the YouTube-side. edit 1: It seems like it stopped working again since yesterday(2023/8/18) edit 2: I saw that there was an update on 2023/8/20, but it's still not working properly like before for me. After going into the theater mode, chatroom is working correctly, but the video part is just black screen. I hope it's not something wrong on my end. (2023/8/23) screen edit 3: Fixed. Great work, thanks. 5 star.
- (2023-08-23) Fruitlessdog: Youtube puts out a lot of extension-breaking bugs. This dev fixes it usually day-of or a day later, insanely fast. Bravo.
- (2023-08-23) Saidi S.: Please fix the livestream going black screen (blank) when the extension turn on.
- (2023-08-23) Joshua: My favorite extension tbh, but Youtube keeps breaking it. Hoping it's fixed soon!
- (2023-08-23) Christopher Romo: Amazing extension, but YouTube seems adamant on breaking it recently, for some reason. Maybe they should actually implement it instead of being obnoxious jerks.
- (2023-08-22) Brian Lin: Was working for a while again after the fix, but YouTube broke it again
- (2023-08-22) Pinasti W Adhitama: Works well in the current update.
- (2023-08-21) Бесполезный Канал: Thanks for fix! <3
- (2023-08-21) Not specified: Not working anymore , the button to toggle the theatre mode itself disappeared . Will change review once it fixed
- (2023-08-21) Jeff: One of the few extensions I always have installed. Easy to use and the layout is exactly what I want. Brave/Chrome updates tend to break it like it is as of today, but no fault of the author. Please update!
- (2023-08-20) グァバオ: 無作用了 希望能修復
- (2023-08-20) Troy Horn: This extension is AMAZING if you watch livestreams and want to interact with chat. It works very well, and the various options included should give most people the interface they want. The only thing is that it breaks often because of changes on the YouTube side, so I don't fault the dev for it. It's just a waiting game for them to find out what changed and update the extension, which so far as I have discovered does not take very long. (Even if it FEELS like forever) The only thing I would like is if it had an option to make the theater mode fit the full height of the window, I end up needing a separate extension for that.
- (2023-08-20) Linwowowow: the sending emote button disappeared...or too be down to be shown
- (2023-08-20) Schtroumpfs Trần: It's broken, yes because of YouTube side, but since there's only one function for this extension I'd give it 5 stars when it's fixed ;)
- (2023-08-20) Daniel III Lapinig: Since I started using this extension, I can't live without it anymore. When it works, it's a perfect extension! I just hope YouTube doesn't keep introducing breaking changes to their platform T_T
- (2023-08-19) Eric W: YouTube's stock views for live streams, full screen video with the chat below and out of sight or default video with the chat to the side but only using a small portion of the screen on anything larger than 1080p, are both terrible. This extension fixes that. There's a lot of handy additional settings, like the toggle to move the chat to the left side which I use all the time. I only realize how indispensable this extension is when it breaks (which it is at the time I'm writing this review), but since that only happens when YouTube makes some change on their end without warning and the dev usually fixes it quickly, I'm not going to take off any stars for that.
- (2023-08-19) Leïye: Très bonne extension, c'est exactement ce que je cherchais pour améliorer l'ergonomie des live Youtube. Merci Napalighost !
- (2023-08-19) David Zou: Currently broken, but when it works, it works great. Keep up the good work!
- (2023-08-19) V “Spiffelight”: As it recently broke, obviously due to Youtube changes and I believe in the dev - I realized how desperate I am when I'm without it, YT is just not the same anymore. I need it, I crave it. 5/5
- (2023-08-18) Brandon G: Seems to be broken again.
- (2023-08-18) Ferdinand F. Rios: No working, what happen?
- (2023-07-19) Mert Ismail Ergun: with last update, tags and links aren't visible
- (2023-07-12) Adam Elmouftaquir: Broken again
- (2023-07-11) Nick Cesari: Works very well, lots of customization. I noticed it wasn't working yesterday due to a change by YouTube, but the devs for this extension fixed it in a few hours! Thanks!
- (2023-07-11) 劉源笙: 更新很快👍
- (2023-07-11) Shigenobu Nishikawa: Execellent extension for youtube. Sometime this extension is broken by youtube changes, but very quick fix by author.
- (2023-07-11) AEISEK: excellent resolution, but not working
- (2023-07-05) Lance Rimando: Extension broken by YT but got fixed relatively quick. Great extension!
- (2023-07-02) Blackman Whitesuit: I thought I should leave this 5 star review as my 2nd favorite, and one of the rare actual extensions to make the youtube live experience better. I wish I could also use it for mobile. Unfortunately, the screen adjustment is slightly broken with whatever change is currently going with youtube. The size is a bit off and the end of text is cutoff in the chat "not over video" mode. Thanks for the closest thing to FFZ on Youtube, and I hope the team continues to support this extension! Thanks!
- (2023-06-29) Grimscyth (Grimscyth): Amazing Extension! As of today though it's currently broken.
- (2023-06-29) Adam Elmouftaquir: Does not work anymore, unfortunately.
- (2023-06-29) Edgar Doiron: Amazing extension but currently broken
- (2023-06-29) Бронислав Бурах: Единственное приложение в ютубе, которое нормально включало режим театра, теперь пропала кнопка, как будто приложение не работает, что делать?
- (2023-06-28) Bobby Bobinson: Great until today. Looks like youtube killed it
- (2023-06-28) Brut: Nice, youtube broke it today though
- (2023-06-18) 張洧豪: Theater Mode switch button disappear , i don't use other browser extensions.
