This allows you to control YouTube playback seamlessly from your smartphone or tablet, effectively turning your browser into a YouTube TV receiver.

Simply click the YouTube TV button in the extension's pop-up menu or visit the official YouTube TV page to get started. You can toggle full-screen mode by clicking the YouTube logo and link your device using the TV code feature for convenient remote control. The extension supports casting from mobile devices and includes helpful tutorials to guide setup. Note that ad blockers might cause a temporary black screen before videos play, which is normal due to ad suppression.
