YouTube links will always open in browser... - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

.... rather than youtube app.
Hey guys,
Pretty self explanitory question.
I have tried Boat Browser and Dolphin, and they both behave the same way. If I google search for a youtube video through one of those browsers, and I click the youtube link from the google results... it will go to the youtube mobile page within the browser (rather than open the youtube app and play the video).
Anyone know how to force the youtube app to always play videos linked from browsers?
Thanks for any help.

U can try tubemate for watching Youtube Videos in different resolutions and Also you can download them...

After you were at YouTube website, scroll down then find settings and that will be mobile version option there

Check if you have defaults set for those browsers (clear them if yes).

Just set your browsers Web to mobile version instead of desktop and I recommend you to use uc browser.

Can't open links in native Youtube app

When I click on video links on facebook, it shows me a list of browsers to choose app which will open video. there is no Youtube app in the list.
I tried clear defaults / delete data for both apps: Facebook and Youtube but without any results.
The problem is, that the link is redirected over Facebook. So the App does not recognize it as a YouTube-link.

There should be some trick to resolve this idiotic problem.

I really wish facebook would give us an option to disable this crap. I don't need this. Really really annoying. That's what's going on. Android will open up youtube videos with the domain youtube.com but facebook makes it m.facebook.com/something or another and youtube doesn't know that domain.

YouTube app as default for YT videos

Since updating my S3 to JB, all YouTube videos open in the browser instead of the app. How do I get them to default to the app instead?
I've tried resetting app preferences, Internet browser, YouTube app and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Had the same issue. When you browse by Firefox, it does the same but in the last instance before playing the video then finally opens it in YouTube player.

You can blame apple for that. It was included in their lawsuit so it was removed from stock browser. Dolphin browser does the trick for me.

Agreed. I also think the default browser is still the best. Don't like that Chrome doesn't have an intelligent full screen mode like Samsung's browser.
Any fix for this yet? Really don't find Chrome as smooth or quick, but need the YT app since the video quality is so much better than the browser version...

how can apple make google stop using its on application? it's like telling apple they are not allowed to use Itunes anymore....
Really hate apple... They think they invented the world..
I bought an S3 just because of this lawsuit. Would buy an Iphone, after the lawsuit i searched more about GS3 and discovered how much better it was :laugh:
Go to settings --> apps --> all --> browser --> clear defaults.
Now go back to a link to a YouTube video and now choose the YouTube app selecting "Always".

Force YouTube APP too play 480p

Hello,
Since my Internet is too slow to play videos on the youtube app in "HD" and the "no HD" option looks bad, is there any option to force the youtube app to play videos in 480p? I am missing detailed settings for the video quality in every HTML5 environnement. Using flash is no alternative for me, cuz its bugged on my device. Maybe there is an alternativ YouTube App i havent allready discovered?
Hope you can help me.
Ps: Sry for the bad english.
Tried tubemate? Extensively used to download YouTube videos but it can play em too! All resolutions!
Ps - It's not present on play store. Download from tubemate.net
Download only from www.tubemate.net
There are many fake malware versions in the Play Store and other sites.

You need tubemate as mentioned above...

Hey guys. Thanks for the tip. Well I now can download videos in every resolution I want, but it seems tubemate uses the same engine to play vids compared to the YouTube APP. So i can only chose between HD and some ugly resolution.
Yeah, maybe. I never use Tubemate to play videos. If the YouTube app doesn't do it for me, I download the video.

force open youtube links with youtube apps

hi,
i just started using chrome few days ago. the main reason is that it can sync everything from my laptop to my tablet and phone. I can live with it although it is not the best browser.
anyway, there is a big problem that has been annoying me since i started using it. as it does not support flash, can i force youtube links to open with youtube app?
thanks
Good question. Thats a prob u get with other browser too. And same thing arrives when u view a twitter account. It opens on the web instead of the app whereas with stock browser it opens with the app.
