YouTube Live Chat Wide Layout

Optimizes YouTube's theater mode for ultrawide monitors, expanding the video and chat layout to fill the tab.

Perfect for multitasking while watching YouTube live streams! "YouTube Live Chat Wide Layout" is a Chrome extension that enhances YouTube's native theater mode (press 't'). It strips away wasted space and black bars, maximizing the "Video" and "Live Chat" to completely fill your browser's tab area. While true full-screen mode hides your browser tabs and disrupts your workflow, this extension allows you to maximize the viewing area while keeping your browser tabs perfectly accessible. It's incredibly efficient for multitasking on standard 16:9 monitors, and also completely eliminates annoying black bars on ultrawide setups. ✨ Key Features: Seamless Multitasking: Enjoy the largest possible video size without sacrificing your ability to switch browser tabs. Black Bar Removal: Completely eliminates left/right black bars, utilizing the full potential of ultrawide monitors. Customizable Chat Width: Use the extension popup slider to easily adjust the live chat width to your preference. Action Menu Access: Even in maximized mode, buttons like "Like," "Share," and "Clip" are intelligently relocated above the chat, allowing you to seamlessly support your favorite creators. v1.04 Added support for German language. v1.03 Added a feature that automatically relocates the "Action Menu" (Like, Dislike, Share, Save, Clip, etc.) to the top of the chat block, ensuring these buttons remain accessible even when the video layout is maximized. v1.02 Updated the donation link in the extension popup to use "OFUSE". v1.01 Renamed the extension to "YouTube Live Chat Wide Layout". Added a new slider feature in the popup, allowing users to freely customize the width of the live chat (in pixels). Optimized the store description for ultrawide monitor users. v1.00 Initial Release.
