Chrome extension that displays live comments from the game thread as a ticker on your game stream


Hey r/detroitlions, I created an open source chrome extension that some of you in here may find useful. It takes the comments from any reddit game thread and presents them live as they come in on a ticker that shows directly above or below your game stream. Here is what it looks like in action: [https://i.imgur.com/1KeJq6i.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/1KeJq6i.jpg) (example using the MNF thread from the [r/nfl](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl) sub over the Seahawks/Broncos game)

Here is a link to the extension: [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/live-thread-ticker/kiggnkckiglahmnikkilmngphgingclp](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/live-thread-ticker/kiggnkckiglahmnikkilmngphgingclp)

To use, all you have to do is add it to chrome using the link above, go to the game thread comments page and copy the full url, paste the url into the extension, go to wherever you stream the game from, and then play the stream and enjoy.

It also has a lot of different preferences like one being able to add a customizable time delay to the comments (we all know how streams can be behind cable and we don’t want spoilers).

Here is a link to the source code if interested: [https://github.com/RG-O/LiveThreadTicker](https://github.com/RG-O/LiveThreadTicker)

Please let me know what you think! Note: It also works with Microsoft Edge.
