Music Mode

Listen to YouTube, which offers audio playback without accompanying video, presenting a black screen to minimize distractions

Music Mode is a Chrome extension designed for those who love listening to YouTube but don’t need the visuals. Whether you're streaming music, podcasts, interviews, or ambient sounds, Music Mode transforms YouTube into a clean, audio-only experience. With a single click, it hides the video and replaces it with a sleek black screen — helping you focus, save battery, and reduce visual clutter. Minimalist Playback for Maximum Focus Sometimes, the video is just noise. Music Mode removes the visual component and lets you enjoy uninterrupted audio playback. This is perfect for background listening while working, studying, or relaxing. The black screen minimizes distractions and creates a calm, immersive environment — ideal for deep focus or winding down. Save Battery, Bandwidth, and Eyestrain Streaming video consumes more power and data than audio alone. Music Mode helps you conserve resources by eliminating unnecessary visuals. Whether you're on a laptop, tablet, or desktop, this extension reduces screen brightness and GPU load, extending battery life and lowering bandwidth usage. It’s a smart choice for eco-conscious users and anyone working on the go. Seamless Integration with YouTube Music Mode works directly within YouTube’s interface. Once installed, you’ll see a toggle that activates audio-only playback. The extension preserves all core YouTube features — playlists, autoplay, volume control — while removing the video layer. It’s intuitive, fast, and compatible with all types of content, from music channels to long-form discussions.
