Chat Overlay – Twitch, Kick & YouTube Chrome Extension

Float Twitch, Kick, and YouTube live chat on top of any website — no second monitor needed.

Chat Overlay is a free Chrome extension that lets streamers keep Twitch, Kick, and YouTube chat visible as a floating overlay on any website — chess.com, GeoGuessr, or anywhere else you stream from.

Features

• Twitch chat overlay — connects via IRC WebSocket, no login required
• Kick chat overlay — live chat via Pusher WebSocket
• YouTube live chat overlay — DOM relay for YouTube streams
• Draggable & resizable — position anywhere on screen, stays where you put it
• Dim mode — ghost-transparent so chat never blocks your game
• Collapse to bar — minimize to a slim header with one click
• Works everywhere — chess.com, GeoGuessr, Kick, Twitch, any website (even iframe-blocking sites)
• No account, no login — just enter a channel name and connect
• No data collected — zero tracking, zero telemetry

Install

→ Add to Chrome — Free

Available on the Chrome Web Store. Works on Chrome, Brave, Arc, and any Chromium-based browser.

Who It's For

Built for streamers who game on a single screen. If you stream on Twitch, Kick, or YouTube while playing chess.com, GeoGuessr, or anything else in the browser — Chat Overlay keeps your chat visible without a second monitor or squinting at your phone.

How to Use

1. Click Add to Chrome above
2. Click the Chat Overlay icon in your Chrome toolbar
3. Enter your Twitch, Kick, or YouTube channel name and hit Save & Connect

How It Works

• Twitch — native IRC WebSocket (wss://irc-ws.chat.twitch.tv)
• Kick — Pusher WebSocket for real-time chat
• YouTube — DOM relay injected into the YouTube chat iframe

No iframes for chat rendering. All connections are native WebSocket — fast and lightweight.

Privacy

No data is collected, stored, or transmitted to any server. All connections go directly from your browser to Twitch/Kick/YouTube. See the privacy policy.
