Enables radio mode in Chrome web browser

Twitch Radio Mode - Chrome extension for audio-only streams

Twitch Radio Mode is a Chrome extension that allows users to access the 'radio mode' feature on their desktop browser, a feature previously accessible only on the Twitch mobile app. The extension lets users listen to Twitch streams without video, thereby saving significant device resources such as network bandwidth and RAM. The extension is easy to use with a new 'radio' button in the video control panel, and it operates in the streamer's channel page. However, it does not support channel points collection or replay videos.

The extension runs Twitch radio mode in Chrome. Saves network bandwidth, RAM, and other device resources.

"Radio mode" is a feature in Twitch mobile app, with which users can play only the sound of the stream, instead of playing the full video. The feature is useful for radio or music streams.

After installation, there will be a new "radio" button in control panel of the video. Radio mode can be started/stopped by a single click of this button, and users can engage in the chat just like when they play video streams.

NOTE: If you have any issues using the radio mode button, please refresh the webpage and try again.

Windows 10のパソコン、Chromeブラウザ、Twitch Japan で普段はライブ動画を見ています。　　　この拡張機能をインストールして、Twitch Japanの動画のページで「再読み込み」、動画の音量調節バーの右側に「ラジオ」のアイコンがあるので、それをクリックすると動画の映像部の読み込みだけがなくなって、音とコメント欄だけが動きつづけます。　　　{ 配信者の声、ゲーム音、コメントの「棒読み君」} が聞けるのでラジオ代わりにちょうどいいです。
