Twitch Theater Mode for YouTube

Changes YouTube theater mode to resemble Twitch theater mode when chat is enabled

Enhance YouTube Viewing with Twitch Theater Mode

"Twitch Theater Mode for YouTube" is a Chrome extension that transforms YouTube's theater mode to mimic the layout of Twitch's viewing experience. It enlarges the main video area and repositions the chat box to the right side, emulating the Twitch user interface. The extension cleverly hides non-essential on-screen elements, ensuring an immersive and distraction-free viewing experience. Users can easily revert to the standard theater mode by exiting the enhanced view. It's regularly updated to adapt to YouTube's changes, with the latest version addressing issues with the chat box size and visibility.

doesn't work at all

Batnano, 2024-08-17

Broken. Installed Extension and nothing changed, Tried Fullscreen, Cinema Mode etc, No new buttons to try switch to theatre mode etc, nothing has changed. I do not know if it's broken since the last review on Jul 6th or if being on opera has changed anything with this extension. But either way it does not work.
