I just love it. Sadly in the last update, it doesn't resize. It cuts the video frame, put the effects and everything. To have it on the 113% that I need, I have to go manually on the menu and click on anything at all, that's the only way to have it resized atm.

This is such an amazing extension to YouTube's orignal Ambient Lighting, I think it deserves more praise than this.... I request you can you develop this type of ambient lignting for more video streaming platform(s) like Disney+ and Prime Video.... That would be really amazing...

asasa2025年1月12日

this need more downloads, suggestion: make the text so its white when ambient is black and it black when ambient is white

Everything is working perfectly fine. Please just fix the search bar. It remains black while playing videos.

Very good extension but can you fix the search bar? Thanks.

Julian Božić2024年12月9日

Actually amazing, definitely comes in clutch on an OLED monitor.

Hybert2024年12月1日

It makes all background pure black rgb(0,0,0) which makes it uncomfortable to read comments.

Markus Heinelt2024年11月22日

Working fine. Nice addition to Youtube!

Why it does not making search bar transparent, only problem is the search bar is in the solid dark color!! BTW its very cool & awesome

AI product read

Adds ambient light effects around YouTube videos directly in the browser, simulating TV ambient lighting (like Philips Ambilight) without external hardware

Users want immersive ambient lighting effects around YouTube videos but lack dedicated hardware (LED strips, smart lights, or Ambilight TVs). This extension replicates that effect entirely in the browser.

User installs extension, navigates to YouTube, and the extension automatically applies ambient light effects around the video player. Settings are configurable via the extension popup (options.html). Effects apply on any YouTube video page including embeds.

Target users: YouTube viewers seeking immersive video experience / Users with widescreen or ultrawide monitors / Fans of ambient lighting effects without hardware investment

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is open source (GitHub: WesselKroos/chrome-youtube-ambilight). No payment platforms, subscription APIs, license checks, or upgrade prompts are detected. All features listed in the store description are available without gating. The heuristic scan found 'open source' as a negative keyword for paid features.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension operates entirely locally on YouTube pages via content scripts. It only requests the 'storage' permission for saving user preferences. No login UI, authentication endpoints, or account-related code paths are indicated in the manifest or store description. The extension modifies YouTube's DOM directly without needing any user account.
