Twitch Radio Mode

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.

User reviews

What the guy below me is saying is correct. I hear the first half second or one second of an ad, then complete silence after that. The stream audio will never start again unless you wait around half a minute or one minute for the ad to finish playing and then toggle the radio off and back on 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。

Used to work perfectly (hence 4 stars), but recently started playing up - works for an minute or 2 - then i can hear an advert play for a few seconds then everything stops.... wonder if twitch has made changes to their web player?
