Also known as "BTTV" or "Better Twitch TV" by the community, BetterTTV aims to add new features to Twitch and YouTube (in beta).
Here's some of the features we add:
• Extra emotes in chat - BetterTTV global and per-channel custom emotes
• Improved emote menu
• Custom keywords targeting phrases, words, users, and chat badges
• Split chat lines for easy reading
• See deleted links and messages
• Anon Chat - join a channel without showing in the user list
• Automatically claim channel points bonuses, drops, and moments
• Hide visual noise and clutter like recommended channels, bits, replies, notices, and community highlights
How to use:
• Just install and visit Twitch/YouTube to begin using the add-on.
• To enable for YouTube, you need to agree to the additional permission at installation. If you didn't, you can still enable it at any time from the BetterTTV Settings.
• Settings can be configured in the chat settings or by clicking the BetterTTV settings from the user dropdown menu.
• Note: Not all settings are compatible with YouTube at this time.

- (2025-06-19) Freemen Tang: Better than 7TV but give constant connection errors on twitch.
- (2025-06-04) UMPish: For you section on Twitch is completely blank and changing the sidebar settings only shows recommended channels and similar channels. All my followed channels are gone and the only way to find them is by going to the following page on the website.
- (2025-05-23) Klona: why is it shrinking the player for no reason
- (2025-05-19) Martin Blee: Use to be 5 Star for me but for some reason today, BetterTTV shrinks my screen by 25% without me changing anything on the settings. I know it's this extension because I turned it off and my view of streams went back to normal....
- (2025-04-04) ti: used to be perfect but sudden changes like recommended channels not going away and adding a picture in picture button that nobody wanted makes it unusable.
- (2025-04-03) Bryan: This was a 5 star extension, but yet again it's stopped blocking recommended channels/viewers also watched on Twitch, which is the entire reason I use it. Downgraded to 1 star
- (2025-04-03) Maroš Štofaník: added unremovable pip button where theatre mode button used to be = deleted
- (2025-03-31) lilmisskitten83: Very buggy some emotes dont show up ive tried everything
- (2025-03-29) Ethan: not working
- (2025-03-29) DEX: Alt+E shortcut to popout emoji page not working rn in chrome cuz chrome shortcut popout beyond emoji page. hope you fix this. + shift to adding lots of emoji not working too. Seems like any keyboard not working in chrome.
- (2025-03-28) Tom: doesnt seem to be automatically claiming drops right now even with the box ticked. autoplay on vids is still on despite being off
- (2025-02-15) outback jack: BetterTTV is awesome I love it and i would recommend it for any streaming or if you're just a Viewer on twitch.tv
- (2025-02-03) Suzanne L: nothing better than bttv, solid and safe, I trust it!!!
- (2024-12-25) Adam Banwell: Making money off your purchase! HIdden background commission code replacements. Often providing no purchase changes adding their own codes.
- (2024-12-20) Pafel: I can't post to twitch chat now... so I have to turn off the extension
- (2024-12-13) Kieran Brown: It works well, but I wil ask for one thing from the dev team. Please, for the love of all that is holy. Please make a little switch for "Experimental UI" or something that will revert Twitch's ridiculous, horrible, abysmal experimental UI. The FFZ fix doesn't work on some browsers, so having a button I can physically toggle would be an absolute godsend. I know it sounds simple enough... Move the div to the bottom and ensure all other elements are within it. But I also know in reality it's not so easy... I hope you guys can find a fix, loving this extension so far, but it's useless if Twitch is adamant on destroying their website.
- (2024-10-28) 子大傻: Hello, can you pretty pwease fix the thing about russian viewers not being able to see emotes without VPN? I get the reason, but it's not our fault and we can't do anything about it. All the other emote extensions are working, did you deside to flow with the trends and stuff? I just wanna wacth Lirik and chill, looking at stupid pepes and keks. Is that too much to ask for a russian?
- (2024-10-24) Csaba Plosz: i only use this because of RADAL
- (2024-10-23) Zac Barnard: Would give 0 if i could - pay money and they ignore you and refuse to approve twitch emotes in a timely fashion. Dont waste your time like they did mine.
- (2024-10-17) Pirat Rom: hello, please fix the error of not displaying icons in the left part of the emoticon menu there are just black squares
- (2024-10-17) Старший помощник Лом: didn't work 17.10.2024
- (2024-10-08) Ro Kai: Anon Chat randomly not working on Twitch since previous update, sometimes it will show my username on the Twitch viewers list after a few minutes, and the username will stay visible in the viewers list until I turn off anon chat and turn it back on again.
- (2024-09-29) Denis Isaikin: Reveal Deleted Messages not working
- (2024-09-29) Abdo Mokh: Chat message history up and down arrow not working
- (2024-09-06) The Wizard Hidro Metalizacao: top D+
- (2024-09-01) Austin: It doesn't really work on youtube. I can't use the emote I uploaded on a stream. The emote menu will open but when I try to scroll down it just switches back to youtubes one.
- (2024-07-15) ef ef: confusing app. i can send bttv emotes but i have no overview of all the avaible emotes. the dashboard doesnt help either i have to add emotes first from others to use them? but that doesnt work either theres no button to add when i click on one. also the app does not work without you giving consent for the app to read the youtube domain which i dont like. for some emotes its not worth the hustle
- (2024-06-19) Tekno: tab completion for emotes and global bttv not working. running Version 126.0.6478.115 (Official Build) (64-bit) and BTTV Version 7.6.5.
- (2024-06-14) TT: does not show 7TV smiles
- (2024-06-13) S: Trying to use the settings for BTTV in OBS tells me "Unsupported Chromium Version" Is there a way to update chrome on OBS? Got it working on my standalone chrome install, but not OBS.
- (2024-06-06) AVP2: After 7.6.3 update BTTV/7TV emotes dont work at all. Some emotes dont even showing and those who are showing dont work when i click on them. I try to disable and enable emotes in settings but still dont work. Clearing my cookies/cache and uninstalling/reinstalling BTTV dont fix anything. Good extension but 7.6.3 update is broken.
- (2024-06-04) Pyro: Emotes are very bugged, no BTTV/7TV emotes are showing. Have tried clearing my cookies/cache and uninstalling/reinstalling BTTV but it's still bugged. Also tab completion emote priority isn't working either, as is readable username colours. I don't have 7TV itself installed so it isn't clashing with BTTV, I have 7TV emotes enabled via the BTTV settings but neither are working.
- (2024-06-04) Heikki Huhtanen: Hide offline followed channels not working anymore, also emote menu disappears on page refresh. EDIT: Jun 4th, seems to work again. Updating review.
- (2024-06-04) Frank de Jong: Works perfect again for me. (v 7.6.2) CHAPEAU!
- (2024-06-03) David M: Love the app but they haven't fixed the Emote Menu Icon on chat. It keeps disappearing and the only workaround is toggling off and on the Emote Menu in the settings. Just leaving feedback in hopes of developers fixing, had this issue the past 3 days or so.
- (2024-06-03) Jaye Sparkle: Very buggy. It's hiding the Emote Menu icon on chat, and also Auto-Expand followed channels + show offline channels is not working consistently.
- (2024-06-01) Tre Von: Followed channel list shows channels that are not live. i have the option on for hiding channels that are not live. why can i see channels that are not live?
- (2024-05-31) Mark Vannauker: can't hide recommended channels anymore
- (2024-05-31) abones900: Directory Setting are straight up not working.
- (2024-05-31) abones900: Directory Setting are straight up not working.
- (2024-05-21) Alan H.: Youtube's video layout has been completely borked. This only shows up as a narrow slat now with no way of expanding it.
- (2024-05-17) Justin Chan: BUGGY AS HECK AT THE MOMENT, IT IS CAUSING STUTTERS ON TWITCH STREAMS - DO NOT USE UNTIL THEY FIX
- (2024-05-16) Donnie Colston: Goated extension
- (2024-05-12) davis henriquez (senseigrief246): great extension for personality!
- (2024-04-26) Fabio (KaZuYa): Essenziale per chi usa Twitch. TOP!
- (2024-04-17) Nicolaj Holm: Latest version isn't working, repair button isn't working, reinstalling the plugin isn't working. And it states the plugin is damaged. Anyone know of a alternative, because this plugin kinda stinks.
- (2024-04-14) Santiago A: this makes twitch bearable
- (2024-04-13) Vinny Jackson: Best extension ever! A must-have if you want a better UI experience and clean chat. And the best, no more damn autoplay! From basics (that should have been on Twitch for ages) to the most advanced features! Absolutely recommended. Try it out.
- (2024-04-11) James Hill: Works good
- (2024-04-08) Jason Gates: auto claim isnt working for channel points. not sure on drops yet, as nothing active for my games at the moment.
