About this extension

Read and write chat messages while your YouTube player is in fullscreen mode.

Messages appear as semi-transparent bubbles of text.
The message input area is invisible by default but shows up when you hover over the bottom area of the chat, or when you type something into it.
The overlay is on the left side of the screen by default, but can be moved by dragging the drag handle on the top-left of the overlay, and can be resized by dragging the resize handle on the bottom right of the overlay.

This extension is currently rudimentary and there will likely be changes in the future.

This extension may sometimes break / cease functioning until fixed with an update, as YouTube's website code changes (and it may break for some people while still working fine for others due to YouTube's A/B testing).

Credits: the drag and resize handle icons were edited from icons obtained from UIcons by Flaticon.

Release notes for 0.3.3

- The chat message input field is now displayed by default when it's not empty (without needing to hover your mouse / pointer over it). This way, you can see what you're typing without having to move your mouse every time.
- Support for YouTube's new SuperChat thread modal (the thing where you can see the SC content as well as messages replying to it):
- Fix an issue where the SC thread modal is too wide and gets cut off when the chat window is narrower.
- Fix an issue where the message input field at the bottom of the SC thread modal is hidden unless hovered over.
- Add support for remembering the chat window size / position on YouTube clips (previously this feature only works reliably on normal videos and streams).
