So that is one thing that you can leverage using VLC media player to play YouTube videos. Now, the reason why you may need to use VLC media player to play YouTube videos, is maybe you’re watching a documentary, or wildlife video or documentary of sorts, and you don’t want to be interrupted. This is the same video that you see here.īut now what you’re going to be missing out on- maybe you might want that -is the adverts, and also the recommended videos. “With the recent update on the YouTube interface, it’s now easier than before to download YouTube…”

Now, once you paste your URL inside there, the only thing that you need to do is that you need to click on play. So the URL that we just copied – just right click inside and click on paste. And just click on that.Īnd once you click on that, you’ll get this particular interface where you need to enter a network URL. The next thing that we need to do is we need to go to YouTube.Īnd once inside YouTube, you can either decide to copy this URL here, but I prefer to use the share button.Īnd once you click on copy, let’s go back to VLC.Īnd once you’re inside VLC, just come to media, just click on Open Network stream. And since it’s Christmas, we get the VLC icon and a hat. You need to download and install VLC if you want to follow along.īut for us to begin, let’s just open up VLC > VLC media player.
