🎬 YouTube Embed Enhancer


The latest YouTube embed UI update removed proper volume control, limiting users to a simple mute/unmute toggle.
This makes it difficult to balance audio—especially on platforms like Holodex where multiple streams (POVs) are played at the same time.


YouTube Embed Enhancer restores missing controls and adds powerful new features for a smoother, more flexible viewing experience.

✨ New in v2.5.0

  • Instant Replay: New Feature. Similar to AMD Relive and Nvidia Shadowplay but for youtube embeds. allows you to save the last X(Configurable) seconds of the video that you can share with your friends/groups.
  • Global Initial Volume: New Feature. allows you to set the initial volume of the video.
  • Volume Step: New Feature. allows you to set the step of the volume.
  • clip: saves as mp4 format instead of webm for better compatibility.
  • Fix: Bugs and performance fixes.

✨ New in v2.4.0

  • Persistent and draggable Mini stats: now remembers for your last 10 videos if its visible and its position.
  • Connection speed: Mini Stats now displays your connection speed from youtube's stats for nerds.
  • Better Latency, dropped frames & Buffer: now gets stats from youtube's stats for nerds instead of doing it with my old way.
  • Live Viewer Count (Holodex only): Added real-time "Watching" stats directly to the Mini Stats overlay. In Holodex, there's no way to see the current number of live viewers without closing the embed then check the icons at the top or viewing the stream directly on YouTube.

✨ New in v2.3.0

  • 🔊 Persistent Volume – Remembers volume for your last 10 videos, so no need to re-adjust after refresh.
  • ⏩ Playback Speed – Improved precision for smoother control.
  • 👁️ Volume Control Visibility – Can now be toggled on/off in the settings menu.
  • 📊 Color-Coded Dropped Frames – Mini Stats overlay now shows dropped frames from blue → red.
  • 🛠️ Button Visibility Fix – Fixed PiP and Stats buttons not hiding when disabled.
