Overview

**IMGLAB YouTube Immersive** transforms YouTube into a clean, distraction-free viewing experience. One key press and everything disappears except the video.

**IMMERSIVE MODE**
Press N to activate. YouTube enters theater mode, the navbar slides away, chat collapses, comments hide, and endscreen cards vanish. Press N again to restore everything. The popup toggle saves your preference permanently.

**AUTO HD QUALITY**
Automatically sets your preferred quality on every video — 4K by default. Supports up to 8K (highest available) down to 360p. The extension icon badge shows your active quality at a glance so you never have to open the popup to check.

**ZOOM TO FILL**
Remove letterbox and pillarbox bars without cropping the wrong axis. Choose from preset aspect ratios (16:9, 21:9, 4:3) or fine-tune the zoom with the scroll wheel on the player button. Works correctly with rotation — zoom and rotation are always computed together.

**VIDEO ROTATION**
Press R or click the rotate button in the player controls to rotate 90°, 180°, 270°, or back to normal. The video scales automatically to fill the player at each rotation angle.

**SCREENSHOT CAPTURE**
Press P or click the camera button to save a JPEG screenshot of the current frame. Respects your current rotation and zoom — what you see on screen is exactly what gets saved. Filename includes the video title and timestamp.

**FEATURES**
• Distraction-free theater mode with one keypress
• Auto-hide navbar (slides back on hover)
• Hide live chat with full space collapse — no leftover gap
• Hide endscreen cards and recommendation overlays
• Hide comments and recommendations sidebar
• Auto HD quality — configurable from 360p to 8K
• Quality badge on extension icon
• Zoom to Fill — AR presets (16:9 / 21:9 / 4:3) + fine tune
• Video rotation (90° steps)
• Screenshot with rotation and zoom crop awareness
• Fully configurable keyboard shortcuts
• Session-safe — N key toggle never overwrites your saved settings
• Zero external dependencies — no tracking, no servers

**KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS (all reassignable)**
N — Toggle immersive mode
R — Rotate video
P — Screenshot

**COMPATIBILITY**
Works alongside other IMGLAB extensions (Video Speed Control, Video Screenshot) without conflicts.
