Twitch chat on YouTube

Overlay & docked modes

Float a transparent panel over the video, or dock it inside the site's native chat frame with a tab switcher. Dial in background opacity, blur and font size until it sits perfectly either way.

Emote highlights

When enough unique viewers spam one emote in a short window, Meridian pins a marker on the YouTube seekbar at that exact moment. Click it to jump straight to the surge — or replay the highlights on the VOD afterwards.
