YouTube Spatial Audio

Enjoy spatial audio for headphones on YouTube and YouTube Music.

Add depth and space to your everyday YouTube listening. YouTube Spatial Audio adds headphone-oriented spatial effects to audio played on YouTube and YouTube Music. Keep the original sound's definition while adjusting a sense of depth, stereo width and short room ambience to your taste. FOUR AUDIO CONTROLS • Depth: a sense of sound surrounding you. • Width: instruments and backing music spread to the left and right. • Room: a short ambience that lingers after the sound. • Punch: extra weight in the low-end thump of bass and drums. Each control can be adjusted independently. Choose from Immersive, Natural, Wide and Closer voice presets, or save one custom preset with your own settings. CONVENIENT CONTROLS • Open settings near the speaker icon on YouTube. • On YouTube Music, a settings button appears to the left of the volume controls. • After the first connection, audio processing can connect automatically when playback starts. • Use the purple button to start or stop audio processing. • Keep using the player's original volume and mute controls. • The settings interface supports Japanese and English. GETTING STARTED Connect headphones or earbuds. Play a video or song on YouTube or YouTube Music. Open settings and click Start in this tab. Choose a preset or adjust the sliders. Toggle Spatial audio to compare the effect. Stop returns the current tab to normal playback. PRIVACY Audio is processed locally on your device. The extension does not record, save or transmit audio, and does not use your microphone. Settings are saved in your browser.

COMPATIBILITY Designed for YouTube and YouTube Music in desktop Chrome. The mobile YouTube app, head tracking and Dolby Atmos decoding are not supported. The effect varies with the source audio and your headphones or earbuds. This is an independent extension and is not an official product of YouTube or Google.
