MyYTChatDownloader

Download a YouTube stream’s live-chat replay to a file with a click — no command line needed.

Windows

Overview

Saving a YouTube live-chat replay used to mean a fiddly yt-dlp command at the PowerShell prompt. MyYTChatDownloader turns that into a paste-and-click desktop app: drop in a stream link, choose how you want the chat saved, and press Download. It fetches the chat with a built-in copy of yt-dlp and writes it to a folder of your choice. It reads only chat — never the video itself.

Features

Download chat the easy way

  • Paste a YouTube stream link and press Download — that’s it
  • Built-in yt-dlp, so it works out of the box with nothing to install
  • A queue with live progress; each finished item lists the files it produced
  • Open the download folder or copy a file’s path in one click

Save it your way

  • Readable text — a tidy [time] Author: message transcript
  • CSV — a spreadsheet table of every message for sorting and counting
  • Raw JSON — the complete .live_chat.json, nothing dropped
  • Optionally keep the raw JSON alongside a tidy file, and save the video’s .info.json metadata

In control

  • Point it at your own up-to-date yt-dlp if you prefer, or leave it on the built-in copy
  • Clear, readable errors and a per-item log when a download fails, with one-click retry
  • Selectable colour themes — light, dark, classic and high-contrast

Benefits

  • No more remembering yt-dlp flags at the command line
  • Works immediately — the download engine is built in
  • Get chat as a readable transcript, a spreadsheet, or raw data
  • See exactly what happened when a download fails, and retry in a click
