Key notes

It seems that aYouTubeapp for Xbox One is under development and might be launched in the Microsoft Store.

In aseries of tweets, Aggiornamenti Lumia and other users revealed a few photos of the app, as installed on their devices.

How can I see or test the YouTube app?

The app is not available for the general public yet, but a few users running on Windows Insider managed to see the app in the Store and also install it via the appx file.

So for now, the app is probably still under development. As the pictures show, it is aUWP app, not a PWA.

Since it only takes up a few tens of MB, it will probably not be released as an application per see.

However, it promises an improved user experience when installed inXboxOne.

At this point, in order to watchYouTubeon Windows users open the app in a web browser or viathird-party apps. But the UWP should bring about new features.

For now, the tested app only has keyboard input.

It’s well known that Google has been trying to collaborate with Microsoft for some years now to develop a fully-featuredYouTubeapp. Previous attempts on both sides to build an app for the Windows Phone have failed.

Neither Microsoft nor Google have confirmed anything about a possible soon-to-launchedYouTubeapp yet.

Are you looking forward to such an app, though? Tell us your opinion in the comments section below.
