Details
YouTube Theater Focus Mode creates a distraction-reduced watch page on youtube.com, especially when using theater or full-bleed layouts. It hides the suggested video sidebar in those modes, expands the main video area into the freed space, removes YouTube notification toasts, and hides three-dot action menus from comments.
The tweek also adds a compact focus mode for video pages. When enabled, it hides extra metadata, the comments header, ticket or event shelves, the YouTube logo, and search area, while moving available video details such as title, channel, subscriber count, and like count into the header. Alt+T toggles compact mode, and Alt+C toggles an optional two-column comments layout on screens at least 1200px wide.
