Customize the overlay's position, font, background color, and size to your liking on a per-stream basis and sync your preferences across devices.

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.

Excellent extension that lets you see chat as an overlay. You can adjust the dimensions and transparency of the chatbox. Best part is that its standalone and doesn't require any other extension.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
