Watch While You Wait

About

Tired of staring at a "thinking…" spinner while ChatGPT or Gemini writes your answer? Watch While You Wait drops a small, draggable YouTube player onto chatgpt.com and gemini.google.com so the waiting time isn't wasted.

How it works:
• While the AI is generating → the player grows and plays.
• The moment your answer arrives → it shrinks to a corner and keeps playing, OR pauses so you can read — your choice.
• While you're typing your next question → it pauses so you can focus.

No accounts, nothing to sign up for. It rides on top of the real chatgpt.com and gemini.google.com that you're already logged into — your chats stay exactly where they are. Just paste a link to get started; no API key needed for that.

Features:
• Paste any YouTube video, Shorts, or playlist link — no key required.
• Optional: search YouTube right inside the popup (this one feature needs your own free YouTube Data API key, since it calls Google's search API directly).
• Drag the player anywhere; resize it big or small; mute with one click.
• Remembers your settings and last position.
• Lightweight — no background tracking, no analytics, no servers of our own.

Good to know:
• YouTube only. Netflix, Prime Video, and Instagram use copy-protection that no add-on can legally embed.
• To embed the YouTube player on the AI sites, the add-on relaxes those two sites' security headers (and only those two). See the privacy disclosure for full detail. Remove the add-on to restore them.
