A userscript for displaying the actual date & time (relative to local time) of when a Twitch clip (and video) was created.
FYI: It only works on URLs that start with https://clips.twitch.tv/
.
This script does not work with URLs that are on the Twitch "channel pages" (https://www.twitch.tv/CHANNEL_NAME_HERE/clip/...
).
This has been added as of v0.5.0.
"Under the hood" the script uses Date.toLocaleString()
to format the date. The format of the date & time may differ from the screenshots below.
- Something like the Violentmonkey extension installed for your browser.
- Install a userscript extension (such as Violentmonkey).
- Click on this link when Violentmonkey is installed, and it will prompt you to install the userscript.

Previously I used Tampermonkey, but later switched to Violentmonkey. During my testing, I tested with Violentmonkey and it worked fine. However, if you're currently using Tampermonkey, v0.4.0 does not work. I'm unsure as to why, but I'll try to look into it.- Fixed in v0.4.1
As of v0.4.0, the timestamp shows up a bit different compared to earlier versions.
As of v0.7.0, the script was updated to support the new clips.twitch.tv
