BlueTube - YouTube TV for Windows

An UNOFFICIAL YouTube client to make YouTube TV available on Windows. Screenshot 2023-09-04 235634

YouTube used to have a cast to desktop feature, but it was removed some years ago. This app is a workaround to get YouTube TV on Windows. This way you're able to use your phone/tablet as a remote control, and queue videos. This UWP application is a simple WebView2 frame that uses a custom User Agent String, emulating a Smart TV.

Installation

Get it from Microsoft

Usage

Either log in to your YouTube account, or type in the TV code (from Settings > Link with TV code) on your mobile device. After linking your phone you'll be able to cast and queue videos to this app. Enjoy watching!

Keys:

Arrows Navigate across the interface
Enter or LMB as the OK button
Hold Enter for extra options.
Esc or Backspace for menu
2x Esc or 2x Backspace to exit application
F11 to toggle fullscreen

Navigation also works with mouse!
