Broken and abandoned. Don't waste your time.
Dead extension. Lame login.
It does what it says but it's missing what I would think are some key features Like the ability to filter chat by type of users (guests, subs, etc) The ability to hide and show chat again. (I tried using youtube normal control to have this, but the hide chat option is broken because of the extension)
Unable to use unless you sign in. Registered, was sent a verification email, and upon clicking the link in the email, was sent to a 404 page. Unable to log in. Unsure how long it's been like this, but latest positive review was August 4 2022, so I hope this is just a minor hiccup.
Hasn't been updated in a while, don't know if they've stopped developing it, but well, their custom emote menu (in their settings disable Youtube Chat Controls) doesn't show the member emotes (as in the streamer's sub emotes), which, for me at least, makes this option completely obsolete if you are a member of the channel, as you would have to remember the emotes "code" i.e :_happy: which is kinda hard when there are more than 30. Also there's no proper theater mode (like twitch), which you could technically fix with other extensions, but it doesn't seem to work properly (chat doesn't show up)
Good, solid add-on! One suggestion, make features for mod comments. I follow a channel that occasionally has mods that submit helpful comments in chat. Thank!
So this is my first time ever writing a review on an extension. I must admit, this extension is a Godsend in the terrible realm that is Youtube live chat. I like everything about this extension but there's just one thing that is extremely troublesome. This extension does not play nice with extensions like BTTV and 7TV. If you have these extensions installed in your browser, the BYL extension will bug out and will not display the text on Youtube live chat. The new BYL chat UI will still work, but just won't show the texts. Same thing will also happen if you have any extension that changes the Youtube live theater mode to mimic that of Twitch's. For cases with extensions that changes Youtube live theater mode to mimic Twitch, the extension will bug out and get overwritten by these theater mode extensions and reverting both the chat UI and texts to Youtube's original UI. So devs, to reproduce the bugs: simply have extensions that changes the Youtube live theater mode to mimic that of Twitch and or install the BTTV or 7TV extension and enable them for Youtube. Lately 7TV added a "True Theater Mode" function for Youtube users and that also bugs out the text in BYL.
love it! will there be an update in the theater mode? other theater mode extensions does not work well with this extension. Thank you! will use this extension from now on
Super easy to use and customize to your personal preferences. Would give it 5 stars but I wish there was a pop out chat feature.
Really like the customization and emotes, but being able to pop-out the chat box would make it way nicer for streamers to use
A much needed addition to the YouTube extension scene, as it has so much potential! The amount of customization options that are available for you to mess with until you get the YouTube chat to your own liking is great! The developer also has a Discord that they are looking to grow in order for there to be a direct line of contact between the developers and the users, which really makes it easier to report bugs and/or suggest features! Definitely give this a try if you're looking to make the YouTube live chat look a lot better, you have nothing to lose! This extension is really going place, it's only going to get better from here!
Made reading chat much easier to read and comfortable, this together with the 7tv theater mode makes any stream feel like twitch
This is a much needed addition to the YouTube chat. It's main features and those set to be implemented soon have completely redefined how much better a live stream chat can be. It's easy customization has provided such a better means to adjust the chat sizing and colors. This paired with an extension such as YouTube Enhancer really tailors YouTube to exactly how you want it. Additionally the channel live monitor is an amazing feature that now replaces the inaccurate and delayed default live notifications you receive and click on, only to join and realize that the actual stream ended over an hour ago. This extension remedy's this and is set to greatly improve over time. The developer is very friendly, open to suggestions and criticism that many other developers may dismiss. I highly recommend that people try this extension as it will only continue to improve.
I came across this extension a few days ago and so far the customization options have been awesome. It's basically a full Twitch chat experience but on Youtube Live.
I have been using this extension for a few days and it's been awesome. Being able to make my own template for YouTube chat while watching TimTheTatman is such a refreshment.
The chat themes and customization is pretty cool, I styled my chat to look like the Twitch one
