Latest Steam announcements

  • New Features in Version 4.0 - 19 January 2022

    Our non-profit has released a free update of our popular video player app that includes renewed support for the latest widevine dependent services (like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime etc...) and supports several new features. Most notably, the player window can now be easily resized in a corner of the screen: This feature still supports full opacity control. We have upgraded dependencies to support the latest versions of chromium and electron so streaming services continue to work smoothly. We have also enabled hardware acceleration that should help performance, especially on legacy devices. A number of small bugs have been addressed, like one where some keystrokes were being captured in the background and preventing default behavior, as well as some memory leaks. Finally, the app now supports apple silicon, although because of the way widevine requires signing apps, it can not be built u…

  • Netflix, Hulu & All Your Favorite Streaming Services Now Supported! - 25 March 2020

    I had long since given up any hope of getting word back from Widevine, certified letters led to spotty email exchanges and a lot, a LOT of waiting around for 2+ years, but a few weeks ago it finally happened! Widevine signed our app which spurred us to patch a number of bugs, redesign the UI to be more user friendly, and build a comprehensive and easy to understand user manual. Coincidently (or not? 🤔) we got the good news literally the day after our announcement that we would be providing Chameleon for free as donation-ware since we felt so aggrieved that our promise of streaming support to our users had gone unfulfilled for so long. We're honestly just excited to finally bring you this feature that we always felt was so integral to this utility. The update is live NOW. I have always had a personal affinity for this application, - I built it for myself and used it for years before rea…

  • Chameleon Video Player is Now Free! - 15 February 2020

    Thank you to everyone who has supported this software. I honestly love Chameleon, and use it daily. It's a pleasure to code and work while absorbing a YouTube video or file in the background. That being said, it was obvious from the beginning that the biggest utility for most people would be using Netflix, Hulu or other paid subscription services and as I've explained in posts before, that isn't possible without the support of Google Widevine. We have done everything in our power to appeal to them, but to no avail. For that reason, and the fact that we have not met our own expectations with updates, that we feel it's no longer appropriate to ask for a donation to our non-profit for use of the software. From now on the project will be 100% free to use as well as continue to be open-source. There is an overdue update slated for next week where users can put in a custom URL, including loca…

  • Linux Version Now Live! - 26 October 2018

Short description

Chameleon Player is a revolutionary tool to help multitaskers reclaim their computer monitors. Play video files and stream shows fullscreen, transparently atop your desktop with full control of the operating system beneath. Perfect for steam gaming while you twitch, or watching your favorite movies and TV shows simultaneously as you play.

About this game

Streaming Support Streaming support is now live with Chameleon 2.0.1! Twitch TV, YouTube HBO Go, TBS, TNT, ESPN, CNN, USA, Vudu, NBC, PBS, ABC, edX, TED and Coursera ** are all officially supported, although any streaming site that is not "Widevine based"* should function fine. Now, when opening the app, you will then be prompted with a window that allows you to choose a file/folder of video files or several streaming services along with a custom browser window to try others that are not yet officially supported. About the Software Chameleon Media Player is non-profit utility software that helps multitaskers reclaim their computer screen space and increase productivity. Windows and Mac users can play video files or stream with their favorite services fullscreen, transparently atop their desktop with full control of the apps beneath. Ideal for gaming on Steam while watching Twitch TV, or simultaneously binging your favorite movies and TV shows while you play. Chameleon Player loads video files (mkv, mov, mp4, avi) or one of several supported streaming sites, (YouTube, Twitch TV, HBO GO, ABC, NBC, TBS, TNT, ESPN and others*) and displays playback in a fullscreen window over your desktop. By making this window semi-opaque and controllably transparent, your desktop is visible and fully interactable beneath. Since Chameleon is a tray application, all mouse and keyboard events can be passed on to all background programs or Steam games on your computer while playing your favorite videos, youtube videos or streaming shows in the foreground. I created the software for myself initially and found it to be such a useful tool that I wanted to share it with others. It's completely changed the way I work -- I’ve fit an extra Coursera course into my monthly routine and was able to catch up on the latest season of Rick and Morty with little drop in my work productivity. I also play games on Steam (of course) and being able to watch Twitch and YouTube in the background while gaming is just awesome. I would often mute these games and listen to WNYC or other educational podcasts, but opening this up to videos as well changes everything. Give the free demo of Chameleon a try and s…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 15, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Chameleon Video Player's USD price history spans from Oct 15, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Chameleon Video Player's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Oct 15, 2026 through Oct 15, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Chameleon Video Player at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
