About Tallscreen - Chat under the video
Live chat under the video, not beside it. Tallscreen is made for the screens where the usual layout falls apart: a vertical monitor, a monitor rotated into portrait, or simply a narrow window on a wide desktop.
On those screens the chat column steals half the width and the video ends up tiny. Tallscreen gives the video the full width and moves the chat below it, so both are finally readable. It works on Twitch, on YouTube live streams, and on Kick.
WHAT IT DOES
- Puts the chat under the video on Twitch, YouTube and Kick
- A drag bar between the video and the chat: you decide how the height is shared, and it is remembered per site
- Hide the site's sidebar and top bar to reclaim that space too
- Tidy the top of the chat: the "Stream chat" row, the leaderboard banner, pinned messages, and the promo banner Twitch places above the chat
- Turn it on and off per site, from the chat itself or with Ctrl+Shift+V
- English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese
PRO
- Automatic mode: the vertical layout turns on by itself when the window is taller than it is wide, and off when it is not
- Split mode: stream info on the left, chat on the right, with a second drag bar between them
- Smart pinned messages: polls, predictions, raids and hype trains stay while they run; a sponsored promo shows once when it appears; a pinned message comes back periodically instead of sitting at the top of the chat forever
- One-time purchase, no subscription. Seven-day free trial.
FREE, ALWAYS
The layout itself, both drag bars, hiding the site bars, showing or hiding every chat module, and the keyboard shortcut. None of that expires.
