Shows YouTube timestamps from comments.

Install Compare

YouTube Timestamps is a Chrome extension that enriches your YouTube viewing experience by displaying timestamps from user comments directly on the video timeline. It highlights timestamps found within the top 100 comments, allowing you to hover over these marks to preview the relevant comment without interrupting playback. This makes it easy to navigate key moments discussed by viewers.

The extension supports fullscreen and theater modes as well as embedded videos, and also features dark theme compatibility. It’s open source and provides a subtle yet powerful way to engage with community insights on any video. Note that if no timestamps exist in the top 100 comments, none will be shown. Scroll on the hovered timestamp preview to see longer comments.

User reviews

YouTube Timestamps is appreciated for showing comments linked to video timestamps, enhancing navigation and viewing experience. Users find it simple and effective, especially for long videos. However, some face issues with initial loading failures, limited comment display, and inability to interact with comments directly. It sometimes conflicts with other extensions and may not fully support the latest YouTube design. Overall, it's a valuable tool with room for improvements in reliability and interactivity.

Inability to interact with the comment pop-up (e.g., clicking, replying, copying) as it disappears on mouse events
Displays only a limited number of comments with timestamps and some relevant comments are missing
Conflicts with other popular YouTube extensions such as PocketTube

a unica coisa que eu queria é que o comentário marcado aparecesse no momento exato do video. Foi por isso que eu procurei essa extensão e ela não tem :(. PFV coloque para aparecer o comentário na tela no momento que o video chega nele, assim como colocar o mouse mas sem precisar passar o mouse em cima!!!
