Description from extension meta

Simply generate links to other perspectives while watching Twitch clips and vods. Adds Express Vod to Twitch nav bar.

Image from store TTV Looking Glass
Description from store This extension only works on Twitch.tv This extension helps you sync a Twitch clip or a vod with another streamer's perspective. The input box underneath all Twitch clips/vods makes it easy to watch the same clip from multiple perspectives. Right click green bubbles for details and right click red/grey bubbles to remove them. Also adds input box to nav bar called express vod to instantly open latest vod of inputted user. Twitch can break this extension with a simple name change to their styling tags so I can't promise it will work 100% of the time. If you notice that's it's broken feel free to message me and I'll try to push an update quickly. I have had to do this a couple times already but I'm not always on top of it.

  • (2023-12-27) donovan: Very useful extension! I have used Twitch clip/VOD sync by mig25 but it broke and doesnt seem like it will be updated anytime soon. I really like that Looking Glass adds HTML elements (as opposed to clicking the extension up top) so I actually remember to use it. I am also surprised how often I find myself using the Express VOD feature. I probably use it more often than the extension's main functionality! Thanks SpaceshipCaptain EDIT 12/27/23: Still using it 1 year later and the extension is still criminally underrated. I use it to watch RP streams and its so useful for VOD frogs like me. Without a doubt my most used Chrome extension.
  • (2023-10-21) Lagiacros M: super easy to use 10/10
  • (2023-06-29) Stoika: If you are a regular twitch user this extension in extremely useful, can't recommend it enough. I use it on a weekly basis and never failed me once. I would love to ask for the devs if is it posible to implement an option to search for an hour, for example 12:03:30 pm, and get go to the part of the vod that was streaming at that time. I think it would be a nice extra feature.
  • (2022-04-20) Ellie: Incredibly useful tool when catching up on Twitch VODs. The developer is also very quick to respond whenever issues arise, they were really kind! I would recommend it to anyone who likes to view multiple perspectives from different twitch streamers.
  • (2022-02-28) Spaceship Captain: I updated this extension but it's stuck pending review. Instructions to manually update here: https://github.com/SpaceshipCaptain/LookingGlassTTV No automatic updates if you manually add it to chrome but the webstore is taking longer than usual to approve. The current version breaks on the 28th at midnight and the webstore doesn't let me edit the overview text without approval so I have no way of letting people know what's happening. Apologies but hopefully it will be approved soon. Best way to contact me is on twitter @spaceshipcapt
  • (2022-02-23) Not Real: The API needs to up updated. Kraken is now being changed over to Helix -> https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-users
  • (2021-10-19) Vergel: It's perfect for adding a list of twitch names; when you type "R" then all twitch names have R in their names will show and easily click
  • (2021-05-28) Alejandro Reyes: Good extension, but it stopped working as of 27/05/2021, i cant get it to work
  • (2021-05-18) Vasidius: Super easy to use and extremely useful. I recommend it to anyone who watches RP or really any VODS
  • (2021-03-12) Riley Sullivan: Works great for seeing different perspectives of the same situation. Must have if watching GTA

    I don't see the text box anymore
  • (2023-03-30, v:0.0.1.10) themoonandmore: Broken
    I think the it has broken. The other day it was working great and suddenly the box is gone to put in a username and generate link. I have tried to remove/add back without any luck. btw thank you for building this!
  • (2022-12-21, v:0.0.1.08) donovan: Some minor suggestions
    Really enjoying the extension just had a few suggestions: - The text to the right of the channel name text box makes it stand out and not blend so well with the other elements on the page. I feel like the (+) button could be removed entirely so the user just presses enter (like you've done with the Express VOD feature). Additionally the text size could be made smaller and made gray to stand out less (maybe match the gray color of the # views, schedule, videos, and clips elements). - Not sure how functionally feasible this is but it'd be nice if the text and link of the synced VOD buttons changed to match the position of the player. I also thought that maybe you had a specific reason for which you would want to have multiple synced VOD buttons for the same streamer at different timestamps, in which case you could leave it as is. - Include a little X button on the right of a synced VOD button so you can remove it. Just to clean up any buttons where the timestamp wasnt found or any buttons set with timestamps earlier in the VOD which you no longer need.
  • (2022-03-12, v:0.0.1.05) Avinash: Channel name options
    In case someone types an invalid channel name, is there a way the extension could suggest like 4-5 streamers based on the what the users typed? Because currently if there is even one typo, or users don't remember the exact way how a channel's name is spelled, there is no way to find the correct spelling without using twitch's own search bar

  • (2022-02-23, v:0.0.0.63) Not Real: API changed
    https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-users API is changing and it looks like your extension is impacted, things are starting to break. This link should help you implement the fixes pretty easily.
  • (2022-02-23, v:0.0.0.63) Vergel: Broken
    I think the extension is broken I can't use it and it says "Clip doesn't have a vod; links generated can be wildly innaccurate if this clip wasn't created during a live broadcast." but it has vod #1 https://i.imgur.com/CodfO78.jpeg #2 https://i.imgur.com/CodfO78.jpeg
