For now, the app appears to be working partially on the desktop without mouse support and it doesn’t work on Windows 10 Mobile when sideloaded. Unfortunately, it is not yet clear when and if Google will publish the app for all Windows 10 users. This move comes after Microsoft and Google collaborated for the Android-powered Surface Duo, which comes pre-installed with all Google apps. The unexpected embracing of Windows 10’s universal problem could also mean that Google could well be looking to bring its other apps to the Microsoft Store as well. Likewise, UWP apps also have access to a wide range of APIs for seamless integration with Windows 10 features, such as Action Center, Jump List, Share UI, and more.
For instance, a UWP app will finally allow users to easily stream the service in high dynamic range (HDR), which is a feature that offers better contrast and colour on support hardware. It’s a proper UWP app based on principles outlined by Microsoft, but it currently comes with Xbox UI, which is strange.īy bringing YouTube to the Microsoft Store, Google could significantly improve the YouTube experience on Windows 10. It’s also worth noting that this is not a Progressive Web App. The new beta app version 1.2.97.0, which is currently hidden, was available for Xbox consoles only, but a new update for the app introduces support for desktop too, thanks to the UWP platform.
It appears Google has quietly published a new package of its existing Xbox YouTube app with support for Windows 10.
