ytcFilter

Although live events on YouTube are certainly exciting, many users have constantly complained about the speed of the live chat. Sure, you can enable slow mode and hence, add a time limit between comments of a single user. Then again, slow mode will not work when you have thousands of viewers checking out your live stream and the chat can quickly become a nightmare for viewers.

YtcFilter for Chrome is an extension that can help you as a user filter out the live chat for comments that actually interest you.

Following a quick installation, you should be able to view the extension right on top of the live chat. On first use, the tool prompts you to access the Popout/Settings window where you can add your filters and anything else you are interested in following in the live chat.

You will be happy to learn that filters are updated in real time and you no longer need to bother with saving them. However, it is worth mentioning that filters are set for each video individually and hence, you need to create new ones for the next live stream and chat you are following.

To make things more convenient, you can create presets that you simply Apply to the next video that can highlight streamers' comments, certain messages or messages with alphanumeric, for instance.

In the eventuality that the live chat included some interesting information that you want to review later on, then you can take screenshots, which are saved in the default Chrome download folder. At the same time, you can manage whether the video should be deleted after a while as well as create an archive that you can check out later one.

If you are a regular of live streams and chats and would like to be sure you capture all relevant messages or information, then you should consider giving YtcFilter a try.
