Twitch Radio Mode

Enables radio mode in Chrome web browser

What is Twitch Radio Mode?
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.
