Ambilight for YouTube™



Overview
A glow around the YouTube player that follows the colors of the video.
Let YouTube glow. Ambilight for YouTube™ puts a soft glow around the video player. The colors come from the video itself, frame by frame. Press G on any video to switch the glow on or off. The Ambilight button next to the settings gear in the player opens the menu, and so does the toolbar icon. Pick Subtle, Normal or Strong, or set it up yourself: - Light: brightness, contrast, saturation, glare protection, top bar - Shape: spread (up to the whole screen), outer color blending, picture colors, color blending, fade-out, shadow, shadow width - Edges: top, bottom, left and right, each on its own - Transitions: Fast, Medium or Calm, plus the fade duration - Black bars: Keep, Hide or Fill, for videos with black bars in the picture - Theater mode: video size from 50 to 100 percent, and Video only, which hides everything except the video - Active in: default view, theater mode, fullscreen The menu is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian and follows your browser language. The extension only runs on www.youtube.com. It reads the colors of the playing video inside your browser to draw the glow; no picture or data is stored or sent anywhere. Your settings stay in your browser. Free, no account, no ads. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC. This extension is not made by or affiliated with Google.
