About

YouTube Audio Mode helps you listen to YouTube while using far less data. It switches matching videos into audio-only playback by lowering video quality, hiding the video player, and showing a clean audio-mode overlay.

Use it for podcasts, lectures, music, recitations, long talks, or any video where you care more about listening than watching.

Key features:

Three modes: Always On, Filtered, and Off
Filtered mode for saved channels and title keywords
Multi-channel detection for videos credited to more than one channel
Quick-add the current video channel from Settings
Preferred quality restore when audio mode is off
Estimated data usage and savings compared with 720p and 1080p
Custom audio-mode overlay background color
Import and export settings as JSON
English and Arabic interface with RTL support
Privacy:

YouTube Audio Mode does not collect personal data. Settings and usage statistics are stored with Chrome storage on your device.
