Description Mohammed Khoory 2023-06-06 19:58:12 UTC

Hi,

I would like to request the ability to view Youtube comments and threads. I understand that this may be an invidious limitation, I don't know. But as a user, I enjoy reading comments while watching videos from my playlist.

Commenting would be even better, but with invidious I can understand why this may not be possible.

Add basic support for viewing comments

This adds the ability to view some information about comments (author,
avatar and content) and threading is not yet supported.

Comment 2 Joshua Goins 2023-10-17 21:43:50 UTC

I implemented some basic comment support now, which can be expanded later on. Expect this to land in the next release (23.12). Commenting however, is never going to be supported as it's an invidious limitation :-( The best we can do, is linking back to the original comment on YouTube like Invidious does so you can comment there.
