Twitch Radio Mode
Extension Actions
- Extension status: Featured
Enables radio mode in Chrome web browser
The extension runs Twitch radio mode in Chrome. Saves network bandwidth, RAM, and other device resources.
"Radio mode" is a feature in Twitch mobile app, with which users can play only the sound of the stream, instead of playing the full video. The feature is useful for radio or music streams.
After installation, there will be a new "radio" button in control panel of the video. Radio mode can be started/stopped by a single click of this button, and users can engage in the chat just like when they play video streams.
NOTE: If you have any issues using the radio mode button, please refresh the webpage and try again.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use this extension in a recorded video, like past broadcasts, highlights, clips, etc?
This extension only works for a livestream.
- Can I collect channel points with this extension?
No, you cannot collect channel points if the video is not played.

For now, the extension only works in the streamer’s channel page.

- Philippe
- works great I dont know why only 3.9/5
- callanyonefrompc
- What the guy below me is saying is correct. I hear the first half second or one second of an ad, then complete silence after that. The stream audio will never start again unless you wait around half a minute or one minute for the ad to finish playing and then toggle the radio off and back on again.
- Jason Butler
- Used to work perfectly (hence 4 stars), but recently started playing up - works for an minute or 2 - then i can hear an advert play for a few seconds then everything stops.... wonder if twitch has made changes to their web player?
- Doomby
- It's not working for me. I've got twitch page taking about 10-20 seconds to load or more, so the extension is throwing an error because it checks the page for an element with ‘main’ tag, which doesn't exist at first. Fix, please
- Mohd Aiman
- Works as advertised would be 5/5 if it can be used for old broadcasts too

- Carlos Tull
- Would be good, except sadly it cant take FFZ into account and use the audio compression function.

- ONE MAJOR ISSUE - you don't earn channel points while being in Radio Mode. Apart from that, the extension works great when it comes to playing live videos in Audio-only. This is the reason why I am giving it three stars - it does the job, but not fully.

- This extension as of 9th of October 2022 seems to not work anymore, hope you guys can make some sort of workaround so it works on twitch again.

- It worked the first 2 or 3 days, then it worked for like 10 minutes and now it does not work at all. All it does it pausing the video but there is not sound at all.

- It used to play audio immediately when radio mode is turned on but for some reason it doesn't now, and it also stops playing audio sometimes.

- Installed it, refreshed twitch stream I was watching, the "Radio Mode" button showed up bottom left of stream (By the volume). I clicked it and it worked perfectly, first try. (installed and tried on June 9 2022, so maybe they fixed whatever issues twitch updates caused the app to not work for some?) Would recommend the extension if you're looking for audio only/bandwidth saving.

- Doesn't work since a new Twitch update that also broke a lot of other extensions. Hopefully this gets updated soon to see if it actually works and with VODs.
