Checklist

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I don't really like how YouTube Chat handles the accounts usernames

Describe the solution you'd like

Instead of using the long username with spaces from normal YouTube in chat, use the YouTube shorts username which is shorter and more similar to Twitch

Expected behavior

use the youtube shorts username instead of normal

normal username: image

shorts username: image

Many YouTube users (Especially those who use non-English user name) didn't configure their @ user name and would simply be displayed as something like @user-wt79bvde35

youtube doesn't do this by default, does it? i dont think this info is directly available in the chat data intercepted from youtube.
