Desktop only feature. Have to enable it. It puts a sidebox with a mini remote where suggested videos usually are. It's under "Modify Playback with Premium Controls": https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6308116?hl=en

> Desktop only feature Weird, that page says "Premium controls are available on Android, iPhone, and tablets, but are not yet available on desktop.", and I'm not seeing the option on desktop

Whoops, I don't actually use them so I may have flipped it in my mind.

what what what? I've been using Premium for years what is this feature exactly? I don't see it. Cheers.

If you tap on the settings/cog icon on a video, there’s an item for “additional settled”, which then has another item for playback controls or something. Once you want to do anything else you have to exit everything and open it back up though, it’s not really efficient

You rock! Thanks.

Talented developer for sure, but has a knack for developing software that piggy backs of silicon valley giants that can turn off access at a moments notice.

Here's an almost trivial bit of "permissionless innovation" thanks to Silicon Valley giants: https://mastodon.social/@UP8/111049822586450100 30 years ago somebody who wanted to develop a "new object you can use to distribute music" had to spend $100 million on some project like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Compact_Cassette today it is very simple because almost everyone has a player in their pocket that conn…

I'm confused, what is the innovation here? A QR code that points to a Youtube URL and doesn't work without Internet?

From the 1960s-80s magazines came with "flexidiscs" which could play entire songs.

Making something like youtube would be much easier technically than it would have been in 2006 or so. A solo dev could create a small scale streaming service for HTML5 video pretty reasonably. It's the copyright that's the problem. You would be annihilated, not by YouTube's lawyers, but by UMG and Sony's lawyers, immediately after getting even a small amount of traction.

That's because people upload copyrighted content.

Nobody would care about Youtube if it wasn't seeded with millions of movie clips and music videos years before the copyright holders got their act together.

If you're into self-hosting there is https://github.com/iv-org/invidious which works great with https://github.com/yattee/yattee for macOS/iOS/tvOS. This combo is amazing, haven't looked back ever since I deployed it with docker. Hopefully Yattee will make a native visionOS app in the future.

I use Yattee on tvOS but lots of invidious and piped servers seem to all be very slow to load. Any server you recommend?

FYI, Vinegar is well worth a couple of bucks. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vinegar-tube-cleaner/id1591303... Install it, and delete the janky "native" app. Now Youtube is a webpage that does everything it does on a regular browser. PiP? Audio with the screen locked or in the background? Yes and yes.

Does it still block ads? I happily used Vinegar before, but it lost that functionality when YouTube’s crusade against ad blockers began (I don’t recall if it just let the ads through, or if it triggered the “Ad Blocker Detected” pop-up). With that, YouTube single-handedly forced me to move browsers on all my devices – from Safari to Orion, where I get to use uBlock Origin. uBlock seems to have stayed a step ahead of…

I don't see ads on YouTube, but I use both Vinegar and Wipr.

Why do you need an app when you can watch it on the web browser?

Maybe we were never meant to aim for buttons and controls with our eyes. Maybe there's a reason why devices like mobile phones want you to use your hands instead of tracking your eyes like the Vision Pro does.
