KickLab

KickLab upgrades the way you use Kick.com — sharper video quality, third-party emotes, a full moderation toolkit, and the chat and interface quality-of-life features the site is missing. And when you want it, a built-in Multi-View lets you watch several streams at once. Everything is optional and off unless you turn it on, and your settings sync across your browsers. A handful of extras, marked (Pro) below, unlock with a Monthly or Annual subscription — plus a 24-hour free trial to try every Pro feature first. PLAYER • Max quality — a ceiling applied on every channel (handles odd resolutions). • Start muted, remember your last volume, audio-only (with a one-click, one-stream "show video" button when you want a peek), and a bandwidth saver when the tab is hidden. • Force plain black letterbox bars instead of Kick's blurred ambient background, and Auto-fit chat width — automatically resize Kick's own resizable chat panel so there's no black bar beside (or, in theatre mode, above/below) the video. • Optional player buttons: a draggable stats overlay, a playback-speed button that catches you up to the live edge, a screenshot button, video filters (brightness/contrast/saturation), a sleep timer that pauses playback after a set time, and an audio compressor that evens out loud/quiet moments. • Keep tab awake — stop your screen/computer from sleeping while a stream is playing. • Quick Clip — a customizable keyboard shortcut that instantly clips the last 30 seconds of a live stream and pops a link. • Save a clip of the VOD you're currently watching as a local video file (MP4, or raw TS with no length limit on Chrome/Edge) — pick the range and the quality, from source down to the lowest available. • A resume marker on VOD seek bars remembers where you left off, like YouTube. • VOD chat heatmap (Pro) — see chat spikes on a VOD's timeline and jump straight to the big moments. • VOD Chat Search (Pro) — index and search a VOD's entire chat, with filters, jump-to-moment, bookmarks, and clip export. • Chat replay (Pro) — rewind a live stream and chat rewinds with it, in sync, with a "Return to live" button to catch back up. • Live Chat Search (Pro) — search the live chat you're watching by text, user, mentions, replies, mods, or subs, then jump straight to that moment and back to live. • "Catch me up" (experimental, free, Chrome only) — reads Kick's own closed captions and gives you a quick AI summary of what you missed. • Watch time — see how long you've spent watching each channel, tracked privately on your own device (works in Multi-View too). • Skip Kick's 18+ mature-content warning automatically. • An ad-break blocker for the Slots & Casino category. • Stream uptime shown next to the viewer count, and reveal a streamer's viewer count even when they've hidden it — on a channel page and on Browse/Home stream cards. • See how long you've followed a channel, right in its About section. • A "Previous streams" calendar in a channel's About section — see which days they've streamed over the last month and get a feel for when they'll be live next, with start time and duration on hover. • Auto theater mode. • Fullscreen chat — keep chat floating over the video in fullscreen, with adjustable transparency, blur and size, draggable and resizable, plus a minimal / read-only mode to declutter it. MODERATION • Set a default duration (including any custom length) for Kick's own quick-timeout icon, so one click always times someone out for exactly as long as you want. • Hold Alt to pause chat auto-scroll — freeze fast-moving chat to catch a message to action, then release to jump back to live. • See timeout/ban/unban events even where Kick normally only shows them to moderators. • An AI-removal quick-reply button — one click sends a templated reply to a message Kick's AI moderation removed. • Auto-accept a channel's chat rules popup. • Hide the slow-mode banner. • An "Edit Stream Info" pencil next to the title for mods/broadcasters, that opens Kick's own editor in one click. CHAT • See older messages — a "View older messages" button at the top of chat loads previous history so you can catch up on what you missed. • Third-party emotes — 7TV (global + channel), BetterTTV, and FrankerFaceZ, rendered inline, with adjustable size and 7TV zero-width/overlay stacking. • An emote picker tab inside Kick's emote menu — a searchable grid of every loaded emote. • Emote autocomplete (including Kick's own emotes) and @username completion. • Message history — recall previously-sent messages with the up/down arrows. • Allow duplicate messages — bypass Kick's "you already sent this" filter. • Quick Messages — save chat templates in settings and send one (repeatedly) with a single click from the chat header. • Username hover cards — see follower count, bio and social links on hover. • A live preview of your message — emotes and all — before you send. • 7TV cosmetics — animated username paints and badges. • Highlight your own @mentions automatically (no setup), keywords (each with its own colour if you like), a friends list, and moderators / the broadcaster / VIPs — each with its own colour, plus an optional sound. • Get an optional desktop alert when specific users you choose start chatting in a stream. • Click a name in chat to see that user's recent message history — emotes and all — right inside Kick's own user popup. • The number of active chatters next to the viewer count — choose our own 10-minute estimate or Kick's own active-chatters count. • Keyword/user hiding, message timestamps (12- or 24-hour), and compact mode. • Show full reply quotes — see the whole message you're replying to instead of it being cut off after one line. • Reveal deleted messages — show the original text of messages a moderator deleted. • A character counter near the chat box while typing, against Kick's 500-character limit. • Clip Moment alerts — a banner over c…
