If you've already downloaded the extension, **skip the first step!**

1. Add the extension to your browser. 
    - Access personalization settings later by clicking on the extension (puzzle piece) button at the top right corner of your browser.

2. Download the latest `YTDPsetup.msi` file in [**<ins>Releases</ins>**](https://github.com/XFG16/YouTubeDiscordPresence/releases/latest) and **run it on your device** to install the secondary desktop component.
   - **Note:** Only Windows is currently supported.

Still confused? Watch the **installation tutorial** on YouTube using [**<ins>this link</ins>**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWPNqPGFyL4).

## Troubleshooting/Known Issues

- The `Listen Along` and `View Channel` buttons in the rich presence don't show when looking at your own profile, but it will show for others. See the example image above. This is a Discord [**<ins>limitation</ins>**](https://github.com/discordjs/RPC/issues/180#issuecomment-2313232518).

- YouTubeDiscordPresence only works with the desktop application of Discord, **not the browser version.**

- Ensure that the `Share my activity` setting under `Activity Privacy` is **turned on**.

Restarting your PC usually resolves any issues, especially on first install.

## Building

## Miscellaneous

**DISCLAIMER:** this is not a bootleg copy of PreMiD. On a more technical note, it works similar to the Spotify rich presence—it only appears **when a video is playing** and **disappears when there is no video or the video is paused**. In addition, it only displays the presence for videos. Idling and searching are **not displayed**. Features such as exclusions, fully customizable details, and thumbnail coverage are **unique and original** to YouTubeDiscordPresence. YouTubeDiscordPresence has not referenced nor is affiliated with PreMiD in any way whatsoever.
