Audio, video & statistics
Adjust a specific player, remember channel volume and understand the measurements shown in its tools.
Find it in: Toolkit/Player
Adjust audio per player
Use native volume and tile mute for ordinary playback. Direct player Audio boost supports 1x-10x only when its media source permits safe processing. For a cross-origin source, the toolbar's optional Tab volume captures only that tab's audio and offers 0-600% with a meter, Mute, Reset and Stop. Start modestly; boost can distort loud audio. Enable tab boost requires Chrome 116 or newer and explicit optional permissions.
Enable channel volume memory
Turn on Remember each channel's volume level locally.
Adjust deliberately
Your native or header audio adjustments are saved for up to 100 recent channels. Automatic muting of additional streams is not a saved volume choice.
Clear stored levels if needed
Use Player's clear action to remove saved channel levels.
Video adjustments and speed
Player tools offer local video filters, flips and playback speed. They change your viewing experience. Download tools read their selected source separately; a viewing filter does not become a permanent edit to that source video.
Read statistics correctly
| Statistic | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | Dimensions of the currently decoded video. |
| Frame rate | Measured frame delivery, which may differ from the source's target. |
| Dropped frames | Frames the player did not present. |
| Source bitrate | Advertised source variant bandwidth, not instantaneous internet speed. |
| Live buffer delay | Approximate distance to the newest downloaded video, not true broadcast latency. |
Remember VOD progress
Enable Remember VOD position locally
Watch a VOD to save its observed position.
Enable saved progress on cards
Show saved VOD progress on video cards adds Resume or Watched indicators where known metadata is available.
Return to the video
Use the saved position. Badges ignore records older than 90 days; unknown duration shows a time rather than an invented percentage.
A practical setup
Read sampled audience trends
Local analytics shows bounded viewer and active-chatter histories from existing readers, separately timed, plus observed received-reply counts when enabled. Gaps remain gaps. Local message authors, Kick's active chatters and instantaneous viewers are different populations; no participation percentage is inferred. Samples are page-memory observations, not a complete audience history.
Written for version 1.1. Some controls may be unavailable in an earlier installed release. See release notes.
