 # Installation (no need to download additional libraries)
  1. Download the `YTDPsetup.msi` file in the [**<ins>releases section</ins>**](https://github.com/XFG16/YouTubeDiscordPresence/releases/tag/1.0) and run it on your computer
     - It's gonna say Windows **blocked an unknown app** because the publisher is unknown. Just click more info and run anyway. If you run this through VirusTotal, there are gonna be several **false positives**. Sorry, but my word is the only thing I can really offer here since at the moment, I can't purchase a digital certificate.
-    - Otherwise, you can just **build** the whole thing yourself with **Visual Studio 2022**. Just download the `Host` directory from this repository and open `YTDPwin.sln` under `Host/YTDPwin` in Visual Studio. Also, make sure to have the **Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project** extension installed.
-  2. Add the [<ins>**Chrome Extension**</ins>](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtubediscordpresence/hnmeidgkfcbpjjjpmjmpehjdljlaeaaa) from the **Chrome Web Store** and turn it on **after installing the desktop component.** If you installed the extension before installing the desktop component, just turn it **off and back on** after the desktop component is installed.

   3. You should be all set and ready to go! To turn this application **on or off**, just go to `chrome://extensions` and **toggle the switch** for the extension

  - If Discord is closed **while the extension is running**, just switch the extension **off and back on**, and the presence should **reappear** on your profile
 
 ## Known Issues
- - If you go from one livestream to another, the elapsed time continues without restarting from zero
  - The appearance and disappearance of the rich presence on your profile can be delayed because Discord limits the processing of rich presence update requests to 15 seconds
  - The rich presence can also randomly disappear and reappear within a few seconds because Chrome forcibly unloads and reloads the `background.js` as part of Manifest V3
-   - Will also cause the elapsed time for livestreams to restart
 
 ## Other Notes/Suggestions
  - REMEMBER TO **TURN OFF LOGGING** FOR RELEASE VERSIONS
