Turn Off the Lights
Turn Off the Lights is a browser extension that allows you to shade out all the distractions around a video on a website. Turn Off the Lights is super easy to use but very customizable. Simply by clicking on the extension icon in the top right of your browser window, you can focus attention on the video and let all the peripheral distractions fade to black. Turn Off the Lights is FREE. It also works with multiple browser types and video sites, so you are not limited to Chrome or YouTube.
Getting Geeky
Turn Off the Lights is very versatile and customizable. It worked well on YouTube, Vimeo and news sites like CNN or KSDK. The extension did struggle when transitioning from a video advertisement to the main video. You can change the opacity of the shading, create custom colors, add fade in and fade out effects, and really make it your own experience. Personally, I increased the shading, added a blurring effect and bubbles to my videos.
