Hide YouTube Live Chat

Automatically collapses YouTube live chat by default without leaving blank black bars, with a quick on/off toggle.

Hide YouTube Live Chat gives you complete control over your YouTube live viewing experience by automatically collapsing the live chat sidebar the moment a stream loads. Say goodbye to annoying clutter, distracting live comments, and manual clicks on every stream! 🎯 Key Features: • Zero Black Bars / Glitch-Free: Unlike other extensions that leave an empty black space on the side of the player, Hide YouTube Live Chat smoothly resizes the video player to fill the screen naturally. • Master On/Off Switch: Convenient popup in your browser toolbar to easily toggle the auto-collapse behavior on or off whenever you want. • Live Updates: Changes take effect immediately on active live stream tabs without needing a page refresh. • Keyboard Shortcut: Press Alt + Shift + C anytime to instantly toggle the live chat on or off using your keyboard. • Manual Control Respected: If you intentionally click "Show Chat" or "Open panel" to participate in the conversation, the chat stays open and won't be closed on you. • Multilingual Support: Built-in support for English, Portuguese, and Spanish. 🔒 100% Privacy Focused: This extension operates entirely locally on your device. It does not track, collect, or transmit any personal data, viewing history, or account credentials. Open source on GitHub: https://github.com/paixaomp/hide-youtube-live-chat
