UMICH Lecture Tools is a Chrome extension developed by brycenatter that aims to enhance the functionality of University of Michigan lecture recordings. This free extension offers several features to improve the lecture viewing experience.

One of the key features of UMICH Lecture Tools is the ability to open the raw video file of a lecture in a new tab by clicking on "Lecture Download". This allows users to have direct access to the video file, which contains both the lecture slides and video stream in a single file. From there, users can easily right-click and choose "Save Video As" to download the lecture for offline viewing.

Another useful feature provided by UMICH Lecture Tools is the Picture in Picture mode. This feature allows users to watch the lecture video in a resizable hovering window that can be placed on top of any other content on the screen. This is particularly useful for multitasking or taking notes while still keeping the lecture video visible. The floating window also provides play/pause controls for convenient playback control.

Additionally, UMICH Lecture Tools offers Closed Caption Modifications. Users can customize the text and background color of the closed captions, allowing for better readability and personalization.

Overall, UMICH Lecture Tools is a valuable Chrome extension that adds useful functionality to the University of Michigan lecture viewer. Whether you want to have direct access to lecture videos, watch them in a floating window, or customize closed captions, this extension provides convenient features for an enhanced lecture viewing experience.
