YouTube chat
Chatge reads and sends YouTube live chat alongside your Twitch channels, in its own pane or merged with others.
Add a YouTube channel
Paste any of these into the sidebar’s channel box:
- a video or stream:
youtube.com/watch?v=…,youtu.be/…oryoutube.com/live/… - a channel:
@handleor aUC…channel id
Reading chat
| Where | How it reads | Sign-in |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop app | The way youtube.com does: free, no quota | Not needed |
| Web app and extension | The official YouTube Data API | Google sign-in |
The desktop reader uses an undocumented YouTube endpoint. If YouTube changes it, Chatge falls back to the official API.
Sending and moderating
Sending messages and moderating always go through the official API with your Google sign-in, in every version of the app. Deleting messages, timeouts and bans are in a message’s right-click menu.
What shows up
Regular messages, Super Chats and Super Stickers (tinted by tier), new and upgraded memberships, membership milestones, gifted memberships, polls, members-only mode changes, deleted and retracted messages, and bans and timeouts.
