YouTube™ for TV

Allows https://youtube.com/tv to load YouTube™ TV App from regular browser

What is YouTube™ for TV?

The 'YouTube™ for TV' element provides users with access to the YouTube for TV App, also known as YouTube Leanback, from a regular browser. This aids the user by enabling the app’s remote control function through a secondary device running the YouTube app. Even though access has been restricted on certain devices since 2019, this extension combats this issue. However, it’s important to note that there is no direct endorsement or affiliation with YouTube.

This extension allows you to access Youtube for TV App, also known as Youtube Leanback.

This version of Youtube is very useful because it allows remote control via a tablet or smartphone running the YouTube app.

On OCT/02/2019, access began to be restricted on several non-whitelisted devices, including Desktops and Macs. Two days later I found the solution that resulted in this extension.

Funciona perfectamente 👍. Asegúrate de tener la PC o LapTop conectados a la misma red WiFi que tu cel, y tener instalada la App de YouTube en tu cel con tu cuenta configurada; abre youtube.com/tv en la compu, abrir la confiuración, escanea el código QR, sigue las instrucciones y ¡¡LISTO!!.
