How To Get YouTube App For Mac - Easy Solution | HTG
0Getting the YouTube app on a Mac isn’t possible through the Mac App Store, as there is no official standalone YouTube application available for macOS. However, you can still enjoy a near-app experience by creating a dedicated shortcut using your browser, which functions just like an app and launches YouTube in its own window.
To do this, open Google Chrome and go to [](). Once the website is fully loaded, look to the right of the address bar for a small computer screen icon with a down arrow—this is the install icon for Progressive Web Apps (PWA). Click it, and a pop-up will appear asking if you want to install YouTube. Select “Install.”
Once installed, YouTube will open in a standalone window that behaves much like a native app. It will also be added to your Launchpad or Applications folder, allowing you to launch it directly without needing to open Chrome every time. This shortcut will have its own app icon and can be pinned to the dock for quick access.
This method gives you a fast, distraction-free YouTube experience on your Mac, similar to what you’d get on mobile or tablet versions, even though it's technically a Chrome-based web app.
