Thanks for the info about emotes 
. I guess I’ll need to look into it a bit more.
If my extension is a video overlay (I.e fullscreen) how does that impact on it’s functionality compared to a component?
- A video-overlay extension renders on top of the video player as a transparent overlay. This type of extension is viewable only when the channel is live.
- A video-component extension renders on top of both the video player and any video-overlay extensions. Component extensions take up only part of the screen and can be hidden by viewers. This type of extension is viewable only when the channel is live.
The docs seem to suggest that if your extension is an overlay then viewers can’t hide it but that seems like the only difference to me.
If I understand the capabilities of JS correctly, it would be no trouble for me to have the extension as an overlay then display only a small panel until I wanted the fullscreen component to come into play.
I also assume that I could make the panel be a drop down or something that auto hides if it’s not moused over.
