Bug description

Google merged Live Chat together with comments box, on latest YouTube versions. Therefore removing all components marked as "|carousel_item" results in the inability of open the Live Chat.

Steps to reproduce

Open this video and, if this new feature will be enabled for your account, you'll be able to see this new comments box with up-right dots.

Relevant log output

Screenshots or videos

Solution

Replace the litho component name:

• "|carousel_item"

with:

• "comment_teaser_carousel_item"

inside the integration file CommentsPatch.java for the field previewComment

I can still unfortunately not understand you. Your sentence is unclear to me due to grammatic.

In few words: the big empty space of those rectangle is needed to perform a swipe from left to right and open live chat.

Without the empty space, the swipe gesture will not work.

Try to perform a swipe on the comment box with original component name "|carousel_item" and after with "comment_teaser_carousel_item".

You will notice the difference (the inability to show Live Chat).

Can you swipe here.

Can you swipe here.

Yeah, but only when bottom empty space is visible.

In that case an option should be added to hide the bottom empty space in addition.

Whops...my bad.

Nope, in truth I cannot swipe from that portion. For me it's possible only from empty space.

In that case, an option should still be added that can remove that space; it's annoying and the only use case if you hide the preview comment is to see live chats, which for most people won't be useful.
