Why install

Better video controls, without changing how you watch.

VidBar keeps the first install simple: add the toolbar, use the tools you need, and turn off anything you do not.

Boost quiet videos

Increase volume and fine-tune audio controls for hard-to-hear videos.

Make videos look cinematic

Apply filters and visual adjustments directly in the browser.

Save important moments

Capture timestamps, notes, screenshots, and bookmarks while watching.

Hotkeys for better control

Every tool is keyboard-accessible. Remap any shortcut from the Keys tab — no conflicts with site shortcuts.

Want the tools on real videos?

The website demo is only a preview. After installing VidBar, the toolbar appears directly on supported video pages in desktop Chrome.

Features may vary depending on browser permissions and platform behavior.

Privacy

Built to stay private in your browser.

Browser extensions need trust. VidBar is designed around local controls, clear permissions, and optional Pro services.

VidBar does not upload your videos.

Settings, bookmarks, notes, and preferences are stored locally in Chrome storage unless Chrome sync handles syncing through your Google account.

The extension does not send analytics or telemetry; website analytics only measures this landing site.

You can disable features you do not use.
