## Description

OverPlay is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your YouTube viewing experience by enabling chat interaction while in fullscreen mode. It displays semi-transparent chat bubbles on screen, allowing you to read and write messages without interrupting your video playback. The message input area appears only when needed — either on hover or when typing — keeping the screen clutter-free.

The chat overlay is initially positioned on the left side but can be easily moved or resized using intuitive drag handles, giving you full control over its placement and size. While the extension is still in its early stages and may occasionally break due to updates on YouTube's side, it offers a practical solution for users who want uninterrupted fullscreen video watching balanced with active chat engagement. Credits for icon elements go to Flaticon via UIcons.
