Meridian — Twitch Chat Fo

Bring Twitch chat to YouTube™ and Kick — without a second monitor or extra tab!

Meridian is the ultimate companion for cross-platform stream watchers. Whether your favorite creator streams on Twitch but VODs on YouTube, or you follow esports on Kick, Meridian keeps Twitch chat right where you need it — synced, styled, and always within reach.

Display Modes:
• Overlay Mode: Float a transparent, draggable, resizable chat panel directly over the video. Works in fullscreen and theater mode.
• Docked Mode: Slot Meridian into YouTube's native chat panel with a [YouTube | Twitch] tab bar — no overlap, no layout shift, switch chats instantly.
• Auto Mode: Automatically switches between overlay and docked based on whether you're in fullscreen or not.

Channel Mapping:
• Automatically detects the YouTube or Kick channel you're watching and connects to the right Twitch channel.
• Comes pre-seeded with popular esports and streaming channel mappings out of the box.
• Add, edit, or remove mappings for any channel from the popup — takes seconds.

Third-Party Emotes:
• Loads 7TV, BetterTTV (BTTV), and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ) emotes automatically — both global and per-channel sets.
• Emote autocomplete in the chat input with inline image previews as you type.
• @mention autocomplete with prefix matching against everyone in the channel.

Stream Sync:
• Chat Delay: Offset incoming messages by 0–600 seconds to match your personal stream delay — so chat reacts exactly when you see it happen.
• Render Batching: Buffer and flush messages in controlled intervals so fast-moving chats stay readable.

Emote Highlights:
• Detects emote surges in real time — when a crowd reacts, Meridian marks the exact moment on the YouTube seekbar.
• Replay highlights on VODs so you can jump straight to the best reactions after the stream ends.
• Per-channel surge thresholds and rolling windows, fully configurable.
• Color-coded intensity wave on the seekbar shows chat activity density over time.

Chat Features:
• Send messages as yourself with full Twitch emote support (OAuth, optional).
• Hold-to-pause autoscroll — hold a key to freeze the chat at any message, release to snap back to live.
• Hotkeys for toggling visibility and focusing the chat input without touching the mouse.
• Blocklist and hide-deleted-messages support.
• Max message cap, font size, opacity, blur, and text style controls.

Privacy & Account:
• Works fully anonymously by default — no login needed to read chat.
• Connect your Twitch account optionally via Twitch's official OAuth to send messages. No passwords stored.
• All settings and mappings are stored locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to third-party servers.
• Live Twitch viewer count pill (shown when signed in).

Meridian is free, open source, and built for stream watchers who want Twitch chat anywhere.
