Singalong for YouTube

About

Singalong for YouTube automatically displays synchronized lyrics while you watch music videos on YouTube. The extension fetches time-synced lyrics and overlays them directly on the video player, highlighting each line precisely as it's sung.

What It Does

This extension transforms any YouTube music video into an interactive lyric display. When you play a song, the extension automatically searches for synced lyrics and displays them in real-time. The current line is highlighted and the text scrolls smoothly as the song progresses, ensuring you always see the lyrics that match what you're hearing.

The lyrics appear as a clean overlay on the video player without blocking your view. You can customize the appearance, position, and behavior through the settings menu to match your preferences. The extension works in both standard and fullscreen modes.

Key Capabilities

Automatic Lyric Synchronization
The extension fetches lyrics from lrclib.net, a comprehensive database of time-synced lyrics. Once a video starts playing, lyrics are retrieved and synchronized automatically. No manual searching or downloading required.

Romanization Support
For songs in non-Latin scripts (Korean, Japanese.) the extension can display romanized versions of the lyrics. This feature helps you pronounce and sing along to international music accurately.

Customizable Display
Adjust font size, colors, background transparency, and positioning to suit your viewing preferences. Your settings are saved locally and applied automatically to every video you watch.

Fullscreen Compatibility
The lyrics display adapts seamlessly when you enter fullscreen mode, making it ideal for karaoke sessions or when you want an immersive viewing experience.
