Absolute Cinema Mode for YouTube

Makes YouTube's Cinema mode fill the window, auto-hide the top bar, and dock live chat to the right.

Make YouTube's Cinema mode actually cinematic. Press the Cinema mode button (or the T key) and Absolute Cinema Mode takes over the whole window: • The video fills the window, edge to edge. Upcoming livestreams show their full thumbnail too. • The YouTube top bar gets out of the way, and slides back when you move your mouse to the top of the screen. Scroll down and it stays put, like a normal header. • Live chat and chat replay sit neatly to the right of the video, full height. • Drag the chat's left edge to make it wider or narrower. Drag it all the way and the chat closes. • Close the chat and the video takes the full width. • Scroll down any time for the description, comments and recommendations. Works on regular videos, livestreams and livestream replays. Settings (click the toolbar icon): • Turn the extension on or off • Auto-enable Cinema mode on every video • Auto-hide the top bar • Twitch mode: on livestreams and replays, chat stays pinned to the side of the window, Twitch-style. The regular view keeps the title and buttons under the video, and Cinema mode becomes a no-scroll, video-and-chat-only view • Chat view: always open Top chat or Live chat (or leave it to YouTube) • Chat width in pixels (300–800, default 400) No accounts, no tracking, no data collection.
