  Live Dot for YouTube shows the live viewer count and elapsed live time directly on the YouTube live player.
  
  It adds a small, lightweight overlay to YouTube live streams so you can quickly check how many viewers are watching and how long the stream has been live, without relying on the default page layout.
  
  How to use:
  Open a YouTube live stream, and the viewer count and elapsed live time will appear on the video player.
  You can adjust the appearance, including position, size, opacity, background strength, margins, and font, from the Live Dot for YouTube icon in the Chrome toolbar.
  
  Features:
  
  Shows the live viewer count on the video player
  Shows the elapsed live time when available
  Works only on YouTube live streams
  Does not display on normal videos
  Adjustable position: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right
  Adjustable size, opacity, background strength, and margins
  Font options including system, gothic, mincho, monospace, and custom installed fonts
  Lightweight design that stays out of the way while watching
  
  Live Dot for YouTube is designed to be simple: install it, open a YouTube live stream, and the live information appears on the player.
