Please use your own YouTube Data API key. The extension will default to use my API key but YouTube cut down my quota to 10k requests/day so it runs out very quickly every day and the extension will not work until it refreshes the next day:

How to create a YouTube API key:

Once you've created one, you can pin the extension to your toolbar and open the popup from there. There's a field to enter your API key in the popup.

Features:
- Pause to persist a comment
- Hover over a comment to see its replies
- Click on a comment to open a new tab with that comment at the top of the comment section (useful for replying to comments)

swag 2025-10-04: been using this for about a year now, genuinely amazing. if you have ANY issues make your own youtube api key, its pretty easy and fixes pretty much every issue i had.
Nina Bailey 2025-09-01: This extension probably would've been perfect for what I needed, but for some reason it stops working if you adjust the playhead at all, forward or backward. I tried to resume watching a long video almost 30 minutes in when i discovered this issue, and I would've had to let the first 30 minutes play naturally all over again for the comments to appear over the video like they're supposed to.
Pip Squeak 2025-07-19: i thought this would be an amazing extension, as its better than not seeing timestamped comments but i think it takes too much away from the video and shows waaay too many comments if a comment exists for the time stamp it should take the top comment and display it, otherwise i think we should have a way to configure wheather comments with 0 likes are shown at all and maybe how many top comments for the timestamp are shown maybe also average time stamps like if 10 people comment about something going on at 10:10 but if some put 10:11 and some put 10:10 they should still be displayed at the same time, i also think we should have control over its opacity and in addition the option of if the comments are fully displayed or if they have a lil drop down menu that pops up when theres a new top comments for that time stamp
Enrico Antonio Signore 2025-05-15: Great extension but may i suggest if possible a Blurred background in the floating comments
Tokyo family 2025-01-11: could you please add a way to upload your own ding sound, since when i replace the wav file, the extension corrupts. thank you!
Batuhan Yasemi 2024-10-22: Sometimes there are multiple timestamps for the same moment, and occasionally the display duration of a timestamp prevents me from seeing others. For example, if I select a 4-second display duration, and there are two timestamps at 07:16 and 07:18, I can only see the first one on the screen. I would appreciate it if you could release an update that allows multiple timestamps to be displayed one below the other. Additionally, having the option to hide the toggle from the playback bar and control it via the extension icon would be a nice feature, as multiple extensions clash and cause confusion.
Murphy Egghead 2024-10-16: it works perfectly, thanks for the extension, if possible maybe make it so that comments that use the same timestamp are also displayed together
Πρόδρομος Μαυρίδης 2024-09-01: The only reason why, I haven't yet migrated back to Firefox. I cannot enjoy watching a youtube video without it anymore. Having said that, since google is hellbent on making adblockers obsolete on Chrome these days, I will have to live without it, unless the developer performs a miracle and ports it to FFox (Please Kenny, if you read this..., there are no other extensions on any browser that offer the same functionality).

g ninja 2024-04-24: it does work you just have to create your own API this quick YouTube video help me make mine work: https://youtu.be/LLAZUTbc97I?si=_TKN98bfssMutEE5 "How to Get YouTube API Key 2024 | Create YouTube API Key ( YouTube Data API v3 )"
James Smith 2024-02-27: Doesn't work even with your own API key sadly.
_-_- 2024-02-15: Does not work anymore
William Strong 2024-02-15: Using it on Brave and still won't work.

Jack Axelrod 2024-01-15: Please change to a sound effect that is less annoying and less loud, or at least possibility to change that.
Moorish Star 2023-11-23: Very strange. It didn't work for many months as indicated by other comments. I did not set the API key, but today I was surprised seeing the comments re-appear ! Let's keep fingers crossed, otherwise now at least I know I can add my own API key. Edit: Ok I guess it's working because your quota has been reset, I'll set up mine, this way I won't be eating from your quota. Btw do you know what the quota is and if it's enough for a user for a month, also if using it diminishes quota on other APIs ? (as I use the API key for other projects)

Tokyo family 2023-09-21: thank you for the extension, could you please add multiple sounds or the ability to add one from the computer along with sound volume control
August Crossroads 2023-05-23: Recommend it coz this is the only timestamp extension that actually works (other than tempus ig). Choppy UI and all but my only problem is highlighted comments open in a new tab. I don't think you can like or reply within the extension overlay.

redacted 2023-03-20: practical extension that could give you a-lot more insight for sure when watching a video but would have been better if we could have thumbed up or thumbed down a comment overlay in the video itself and maybe also reply especially in the videos where there are a-lot of comments to sort through...

Facundo Zapata 2023-02-19: The developer actually fixes the extension when something happens and it stops working. Not many will do that. 5 stars just for that.
