Live Chat Overlay

Overview

Restyle the YouTube popout chat so you can overlay it for livestreams. Install this extension, then use the "pop out chat" feature on a YouTube live video. You can either full-screen the window and bring it into video streaming systems like the ATEM Mini to overlay the chat using a Luma or Chroma key, or you can get a remote URL to bring your chat into OBS, a YoloBox, or Lightstream Studio as a browser source!
