YouTube video hosting is a product of Google Corporation. As you know, Microsoft has some disputes with this company, and its products are not always available for users of devices with a "tiled" operating system. Hence the majority of the question arises whether there is YouTube on a Windows background, and if so, how to download it?
The functionality of the official YouTube client
For a period of time, about three months, the official YouTube application was unavailable for download on devices running Microsoft's operating system. This is due to all the same patent disputes between corporations. At the moment, the official YouTube application for Windows Background can be downloaded from the Store.
The official client allows you to view all videos available on the video hosting. And also play them in the background.

Unfortunately, the official YouTube client does not allow uploading videos from hosting to a mobile device. To access this function, you need to install clients from similar developers.

Not so long ago, Google withdrew support for the updated YouTube application, which Microsoft created specifically for users of its mobile platform. The reason for blocking the application was its non-compliance with YouTube requirements. The blocking of this application and Google's reluctance to release an official client for Windows Phone, I would not call another drawback of the mobile ecosystem from Microsoft, since there are excellent third-party alternatives in the app store. Some of them will be touched upon in this article.
This is arguably the best YouTube app for Windows Phone. MetroTube combines a modern user interface and YouTube API. It is a pleasure to use this application. It is simple and convenient, it works very smoothly, and in the process of using it, I did not notice any errors or shortcomings at all. MetroTube also allows you to download videos for offline viewing.
The application is compatible with Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8, however, a symbolic 34 rubles are asked for it. It is not necessary to pay at all, since the application has a trial version (which, as I understand, has no restrictions at all), but it is still worth supporting the developer.
myTube is another client from my personal list of the best YouTube apps for Windows Phone. It has a very nice interface with an overlay effect that lets you, for example, watch videos and read comments at the same time. Moreover, if you minimize the application while watching a video, playback will continue. In other words, myTube can play videos in the background.
In the last update, by the way, the "auto-play" function was added for playlists. The app is available for 34 rubles. Again, there is a trial version with which you can watch 1 hour of video every 3 hours, but you can continue watching in just 10 minutes. Only smartphones with Windows Phone 8 are supported.
It is a complete YouTube client for the mobile platform from Microsoft. Along with watching videos, TubePro allows you to download videos to your device and even upload your own video to YouTube. The advantage of TubePro over MetroTube is that it is completely free. The app is compatible with WP7 and WP8.
