About IMGLAB YouTube Immersive

**IMGLAB YouTube Immersive** transforms YouTube into a clean, distraction-free viewing experience. One key press and everything disappears except the video. **IMMERSIVE MODE** Press N to activate. YouTube enters theater mode, the navbar slides away, chat collapses, comments hide, and endscreen cards vanish. Press N again to restore everything. The popup toggle saves your preference permanently. **AUTO HD QUALITY** Automatically sets your preferred quality on every video — 4K by default. Supports up to 8K (highest available) down to 360p. The extension icon badge shows your active quality at a glance so you never have to open the popup to check. **ZOOM TO FILL** Remove letterbox and pillarbox bars without cropping the wrong axis. Choose from preset aspect ratios (16:9, 21:9, 4:3) or fine-tune the zoom with the scroll wheel on the player button. Works correctly with rotation — zoom and rotation are always computed together. **VIDEO ROTATION** Press R or click the rotate button in the player controls to rotate 90°, 180°, 270°, or back to normal. The video scales automatically to fill the player at each rotation angle. **SCREENSHOT CAPTURE** Press P or click the camera button to save a JPEG screenshot of the current frame. Respects your current rotation and zoom — what you see on screen is exactly what gets saved. Filename includes the video title and timestamp. **FEATURES** • Distraction-free theater mode with one keypress • Auto-hide navbar (slides back on hover) • Hide live chat with full space collapse — no leftover gap • Hide endscreen cards and recommendation overlays • Hide comments and recommendations sidebar • Auto HD quality — configurable from 360p to 8K • Quality badge on extension icon • Zoom to Fill — AR presets (16:9 / 21:9 / 4:3) + fine tune • Video rotation (90° steps) • Screenshot with rotation and zoom crop awareness • Fully configurable keyboard shortcuts • Session-safe — N key toggle never overwrites your saved settings • Zero external dependencies — no tracking, no servers **KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS (all reassignable)** N — Toggle immersive mode R — Rotate video P — Screenshot **COMPATIBILITY** Works alongside other IMGLAB extensions (Video Speed Control, Video Screenshot) without conflicts.
