Watch YouTube live streams in real time. Smart speed pacing trims stream delay, with a live latency graph and jump-to-live. Tired of being 20–60 seconds behind the actual live moment on YouTube? Spoilers from chat, delayed reactions, missing the play everyone is talking about? RealTime Tube keeps you glued to the live edge. HOW IT WORKS RealTime Tube reads the live stream's real latency and buffer statistics and smoothly paces playback (up to 1.4x) only when there is delay to trim — easing back to normal speed as you reach the live edge. No stutter, no audio-pitch weirdness, no manual fiddling. FEATURES • 📈 Live latency graph — watch your delay shrink in real time in the popup • 🚀 4 pacing modes — Auto (adapts to your connection), Stable, Fast, Turbo • 📟 Optional player readouts — current speed, live latency, buffer health • 🔔 Drift alerts — a gentle nudge with one-tap "Jump to live" when you fall behind (fully optional) • ⏭️ Auto-jump — snap back to live automatically if you drift too far (configurable threshold) • ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts — Alt+Shift+R toggle, Alt+Shift+G jump to live • 🌎 English, Español, Français, Português (BR) PRIVACY FIRST • No data collection of any kind — zero network requests • No account needed • Only runs on youtube.com • Just 1 permission (storage — to save your settings locally) WHEN TO USE EACH MODE • Auto — set-and-forget; widens the safety buffer after a stall, tightens while your connection is smooth • Stable — shaky Wi-Fi or mobile hotspots (~5s buffer) • Fast — everyday connections (~3.5s buffer) • Turbo — fiber/fast cable, esports-grade edge (~2s buffer, up to 1.4x catch-up) Perfect for esports, sports broadcasts, watch parties synced with friends, auctions, stock/crypto streams, breaking news, and interacting with live chat without being the last to know.
