Live Chat Overlay
This CSS and JS turns the popout YouTube chat window into something that can be used to show chat comments keyed over a video.
Installation
Install from the Chrome extension store:
Or you can install this as an "unpacked" extension. In Chrome, launch the Extensions page
Then choose "Load unpacked", and navigate to this folder.
Usage
Open up the YouTube live chat for a video, and click popout chat to open it in a new window. Or replace the VIDEOID
in the URL below with your video's ID.
https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?is_popout=1&v=VIDEOID
You'll next need to bring that into your video stream and key it out, which will depend on what software or hardware you are using. In the ATEM Mini, you can use these settings in the upstream keyer:
- Luma key
- not premultiplied
- clip: 7%
- gain: 100%
Or you can use the downstream keyer:
- not premultiplied
- mask:
- top: X
- bottom: -9
- left: -16
- right: 16

You can see this in action on many of Aaron Parecki's livestreams!

Most of this CSS and JavaScript came from a video by ROJ BTS, so huge thanks to him for the initial work!
