Cannot review until PR released? |
|
I thought GitHub would just queue up the review requests until it was marked ready for review, but I guess not, sorry. |
|
Should this PR be set to ready to review? |

Yes, I've rebased it now, so you can actually test it and marked it ready-for-review. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
- When live chat is disabled by the creator u cant see the viewer count anymore but on YT u can
- Users can also hide the live chat in the distraction free settings and that also hides the viewer count
U could move the element next to the started streaming element this is how YT does it idk if it is a better UX though
|
We can't have it separate from the live chat because that view count comes from polling the live chat endpoints, I can move it in the UI, but I'll still have to hide it if the video doesn't have a live chat. We could ask YouTube.js to have duplicate code so we can poll it every 5 seconds even when the video doesn't have a live chat but that seems like quite an edge case. |

Ah ok, the only thing i maybe would like to see is the same as @jasonhenriquez suggestion about
Maybe to make it look nice we can reuse the same separators we use in the img below?

Description
Adds the currently the number of people currently watching the live stream to the live chat. It'll update about every 5 seconds similarly to YouTube. Respeccts the "Hide Video Views" setting.
While I know that visually the live chat view probably isn't the best place for this number, as it only works when the live chat is visible, I decided that placing in there would be less confusing to users (also keeps the code simpler as i don't have to move the value between 3 different components).
Screenshots
Testing
Open a live stream with a live chat and make sure the "Hide Video Views" setting is disabled.
