  1. When switching to theatre mode the chat goes into dark mode, I'd like an option to opt out of this because that strains my eyes to the point where I'd rather not watch the stream at all.

  2. On a vertical monitor browser, theatre mode with chat on should fill the horizontal portion of the screen, shifting the chat downwards to fill the bottom right of the screen, similar to how YouTube's theatre mode fill the top portion of vertical monitor, shifting suggested videos on the right downwards. This will increase video screen estate to make it easier to view the videos.

  3. Please change the default key bind for toggling the theater mode to t.

    Currently the default key bind is alt + t. This leads to some issues:

    • alt also toggles a feature of Firefox
    • Inconsistency to the youtube player, which uses just t

    This would make the theater mode also quicker to toggle, since only one key is needed

  4. In Theatre Mode when the chat is pushed off the screen by clicking the arrow, the player doesn't stretch to the bottom of the browser leaving a bit of black space at the bottom. Why not stretch the player all the way down to the bottom of the browser?

  5. Currently in theater mode, snapping half the screen to the side of a normal sized monitor, the chat pulls up below the stream. Unfortunately the chat window is far too small to read anything due to clutter of gifted subs, banners, hype trains and pins. It makes it impossible to read chat with too many of these things at the same time. My current fix is to just remove those overlay elements, but right now it just feels really bad to use when you can only see like 2 lines of chat at a time.

  6. I've been using extensions for this, but it really should be an option on the site. Give us the option to have a stream go to theatre mode automatically instead of having to select it every single time. Honestly, that should've been an option ages ago.

  7. When in theater mode, allow me to toggle visibility of the left 'followed channels' (and 'Recommended Channels' etc) bar.

    Alternatively, make the video bigger (so you can't see channel name, title, tags) and allow me to toggle the search bar at the top. In this way, I would be able to have chat, stream and left bar visible, without wasted space by search bar

    Currently, there are black bars to the left and right of the video I'm watching, even when chat is open on my ultra-wide monitor. This space could be filled by the bar on the left so…

  8. If there will be a method in global object, which can be executed through JS and it will enable (if disabled) or vice versa the Theatre Mode - it would be super nice. Users that complain for the "hard" hotkey will have the possibility to remap it via some global extension.
    Sometimes I have a problem with this hotkey not working for some unknown reason, but with global method - this problem will not repeat as often.
