Guidelines

  • I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed issues that are similar to the feature request I want to file, without success.
  • I have searched the documentation for information that matches the description of the feature request I want to file, without success.
  • This issue contains only one feature request.

Problem Description

Opening past streams or lives with external players ends up lacking the chat, you have to then open the stream in freetube again to get the attached chat, but you have two of the same stream now and we don't really want everything else if we want to use an external player.

Proposed Solution

Next to any "Open in [external player]" there should be an "Open popout chat" option or also that chat areas have that button, if it's not a video with a chat it can just show an error message. It would be extra nice if the window spawned has a transparency option and it was distinctly tagged, so it can be systematically overlayed over any external player.

Alternatives Considered

Maybe chat font configurability can be added to the popout chat singularly instead of chat fonts being implemented generally and having to reconsider font sizes for everything else, "Popout chat settings" being the path to adding configurability to the chat with other options as well but not have to do anything to the static attached chat in the usual freetube instance.
