SteelSeries Browser Cinema Extension

Extension for Chromium-based browsers (Chromium, Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, Yandex.Browser) that allows to setup reactions for your SteelSeries devices on event when browser enters fullscreen mode.

Currently it works only with SteelSeries GG on Windows

Why?

Having gaming devices with fancy RGB led feels great, but it might become annoying while you are trying to watch movies or youtube video. This extension just allows to setup your device settings when browsers enters fullscreen mode. When browsers leaves fullscreen your device settings will drop to previous state before fullscreen event.

Setup

  1. Make sure you have installed Steelseries GG and configured your device inside Engine tab
  2. Install StellSeries Browser Cinema extension from Chrome Store or from github releases page
  3. Navigate to chrome://extensions and click "Details" on the newly installed extension.
  4. Scroll down and make sure the "Allow access to file URLs" is enabled.
  5. Inside Engine -> Apps Tab in SteelSeries GG should appear new game named Browser Cinema
  6. Go into Browser Cinema game
  7. Choose Event in Game -> FULLSCREEN
  8. Here you can setup your device reaction for browser fullscreen mode (I prefer to set it all to single black color that mean led will be turned off completely)
  9. Repeat device set up for every of your devices

Caveats

  • Currently supports only Windows
  • Only default SteelSeries GG installation is supported (inside C:/ProgramData/SteelSeries/SteelSeries Engine 3/)
  • The extension only works for web pages opened in fullscreen only for browser with enabled extension

Troubleshooting

Cannot find game Browser Cinema

Try to reinstall extension as game is registered only on extension install

Device state doesn't reflect browser mode

Make sure SteelSeries GG is running and extension is enabled in browser

Internals

  2. On installation extension register new game Browser Cinema in SteelSeries Plugin Server
  3. When browser changes its fullscreen mode the extensions send event Fullscreen to SteelSeries Plugin Server
