User reviews
Twitch Radio Mode is a simple Chrome extension that lets users listen to live Twitch streams in audio-only mode, reducing bandwidth usage and allowing multitasking. It is easy to use and works well when functional. However, common issues include lack of support for VODs, audio stopping after ads requiring manual intervention, no channel points accumulation, and occasional problems with the interface button not appearing or the extension ceasing to work.
Pros
- Allows listening to Twitch streams in audio-only mode, saving bandwidth and enabling multitasking.
- Simple and easy to use with straightforward functionality.
- Effective at reducing data usage by not loading video streams.
- Generally works well for live streams when functional.
- Helpful for users who want to listen without watching video.
Cons
- Does not work with Twitch VODs (recorded videos) or old broadcasts.
- Stops working after advertisements play, often requiring toggling off/on or page reloads to restore audio.
- No channel points are earned while using Radio Mode, limiting some viewer engagement.
- Button or icon sometimes fails to appear or is greyed out, preventing use.
- Occasionally encounters errors or stops working altogether, requiring reinstallation or fixes.

Philippe, 2025-04-25What the guy below me is saying is correct. I hear the first half second or one second of an ad, then complete silence after that. The stream audio will never start again unless you wait around half a minute or one minute for the ad to finish playing and then toggle the radio off and back on again.

callanyonefrompc, 2025-02-13Windows 10のパソコン、Chromeブラウザ、Twitch Japan で普段はライブ動画を見ています。
この拡張機能をインストールして、Twitch Japanの動画のページで「再読み込み」、
動画の音量調節バーの右側に「ラジオ」のアイコンがあるので、
それをクリックすると動画の映像部の読み込みだけがなくなって、音とコメント欄だけが動きつづけます。
{ 配信者の声、ゲーム音、コメントの「棒読み君」} が聞けるのでラジオ代わりにちょうどいいです。
