Show Twitch chat on top of the stream player (live and VODs). Read chat, send messages, automatically claim channel points, and more, without leaving fullscreen mode.

Features & Capabilities

Anu Twitch Chat Overlay lets you view Twitch chat on top of the stream player for both live streams and VODs without leaving fullscreen mode. You can read chat, send messages, and even automatically claim channel points seamlessly while watching.

Customize the overlay's position, font, background color, and size to your liking on a per-stream basis and sync your preferences across devices. The extension supports both Twitch dark and light themes by default. After installation, a Chat Overlay button appears on the Twitch video player's bottom right panel for easy toggling. It is now open source and open for collaborators.

User Reviews

Users praise Anu Twitch Chat Overlay for providing a customizable on-screen chat overlay and its standalone nature, along with good VOD support and personalization options. However, several reviews repeatedly mention drawbacks: the overlay button is too large and disrupts video playback, VOD compatibility is inconsistent (chat may fail or be missing on VODs), and there is a desire for 7TV support.
Pros
  • On-screen Twitch chat overlay that you can adjust in size and transparency.
  • Standalone extension that doesn’t require any other add-ons.
  • Offers extensive personalization/settings for the overlay.
  • Works well with VODs (chat visible while watching videos).
Cons
  • Overlay button/icon is too large and disrupts video playback.
  • VOD compatibility is inconsistent; chat may be broken or missing on VODs.
  • No 7TV support yet.
