the L!VE extension ✧

⏱ 3 min readupdated oct 2026

the L!VE extension puts what you're doing in your browser on your page: the anime you're watching, the manga you're reading and the song that's playing ♡

  1. add it
    open the L!VE tab in your dashboard and grab the extension for Chrome or Firefox.
  2. activate
    back on the L!VE tab, press Activate. the extension links to your page by itself, no codes to copy.
  3. watch, read or listen
    play an episode on a supported streaming site, open a chapter on a supported reader, or play a song in a music player in your browser. it shows up on your page in a few seconds.
  4. choose what shows
    on the L!VE tab, under What shows up, switch Anime, Reading and Music on or off. off keeps it off your profile; your own monthly stats still count it.

where it shows. a now watching, reading or listening chip on your profile, and full pages at glow.moe/yourname/anime, /manga and /music.

reading. manga and webtoons, chapter by chapter. a small card on the reader page shows your list progress and a Mark Ch button that updates AniList or MyAnimeList (link one in dashboard, then links).

music. the song playing in a music player in your browser. on regular YouTube only music videos count, everything else stays private.

the popup. click the icon for what's being shared right now, your glow notifications (the number on the icon is your unread count), friends from your blends who are live, and your watch, read and listen time this month. only you see those numbers.

privacy switches live in the popup: pause sharing, switch the site you're on off, and private windows, which stay private unless you turn them on. there's also mark episodes automatically once 85% has played, off until you switch it on.

left a tab open? a paused episode drops off your page after 15 minutes, a reader you stopped touching or a paused song after 10. press play or turn the page and it's back.

on Discord too: with the L!VE desktop app running, what you watch, read and listen to shows on your Discord profile, with a progress bar. songs from a couple of players stay off Discord; they still show on your page.

nothing showing? see why isn't my live match showing.
