What’s new

What we’ve shipped lately, newest first.

Current extension version: 2.5.1
  1. New feature

    Settings in the player, and no captions over ads

    • Click the Echo button on a video to see your account, caption language and minutes, and change every setting right in the player.
    • A full settings page opens in its own tab, with a large preview of each setting.
    • Echo stays quiet during ads on YouTube, Twitch and Kick, and picks up again after them.
    • A new four-step welcome, a lighter look and an easier-to-read font.
    • Echo now asks before it sends anything, and usage statistics stay off unless you turn them on.
  2. Website

    A new look for this website

    • A new home page that shows what Echo does, one step at a time.
    • Light by default, with a dark theme in the footer.
    • Find your language faster: search all 81 from the footer.
  3. New feature

    Chat translation, a monthly summary and a new menu

    • On Twitch and Kick, paid plans can read the chat in their own language.
    • Turn what you type into the streamer’s language with one tap.
    • A monthly summary shows how much you watched with Echo, and saves as a picture.
    • Echo’s menu has a cleaner look, a searchable list of all 81 languages and a profile frame that shows your plan.
    • Press Alt+Shift+S on a video to save that moment as a picture with its captions.
    • On Crunchyroll, when an episode has official subtitles in your language, Echo shows those and doesn’t use your minutes.
    • Fixes for signing in, live captions and Crunchyroll.
  4. New feature

    Kick and past broadcasts

    • On Kick, the Echo button is back in the player, next to the settings icon.
    • Past broadcasts on Twitch and Kick get captions too, not just live streams.

    Live streams in more than 60 languages

    • Live streams understand more than 60 spoken languages, including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Turkish and Russian.
    • When several people talk, each voice gets its own color, with a short legend on the video.
    • Live captions keep going after ads.
    • A video without captions now says so instead of staying silent.
    • Echo’s own menus and notices, and this website, come in every language it translates into.
