BetterTTV (also known as BTTV or Better Twitch TV) is a powerful Chrome extension that enhances your Twitch and YouTube experience by adding a suite of new features and customizations. It offers extra emotes — both global and per-channel — improving the chat with an enhanced emote menu and options like custom keywords for phrases, users, and chat badges.

Additional functionalities include split chat lines for easy reading, viewing deleted links and messages, and an "Anon Chat" mode to join channels discreetly. Automatically claiming channel points bonuses, drops, and moments saves you time, while options to hide visual clutter such as recommended channels, bits, replies, and notices create a cleaner interface. Easy to install and configure, BetterTTV brings a richer, more interactive streaming chat experience to Twitch and YouTube users.
