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

What is Twitch Theater Mode for YouTube?

"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.
