Is the YouTube app on XBOX one free?

I notice that there is a YouTube app available by simply connecting the XBOX to the Wi fi, is the app free?

Saving a paired connection with youtube on Xbox One

Sorry @caseofbase, the pairing done between the YouTube app on your Android tablet and the Xbox One is a function implemented by google/youtube itself. You will need to contact their support to see if they have this ability.

Xbox One SmartGlass is a separate app that can be paired with your Xbox One console for various control, input, social, and 2nd screen companion experiences (and it will remember your pairing , but unfortunately it does not function that well specifically
with controlling the YouTube app at this time (YouTube is working on a fix for that).

Thanks

Xbox one remote YouTube

The media remote is not currently compatible with every app. As stated on its official support page, not every 3rd party app currently supports it. It sounds like YouTube is one of them. You'll have to wait on an update to the YouTube app to support remote
compatibility.

no one is paying extra for youtube on xbox.

the price of gold has not increased since it was introduced along with the other apps,so you are getting it free.

NO, Morphine is not the issue...

Did you know, Youtube is indeed a free app now????

You are NOT a paid gold member at this time..... although, you can get Youtube and other popular apps at no charge now.

Please, feel free to use whatever platform you deem worthy be it Xbox or playstation.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

From my experience, the only issue with Youtube.com in Microsoft Edge on my Xbox One is that it's a little slow and it seems to struggle loading all the thumbnails. Here's an example:

I streamed to my computer in order to capture that photo.

In regards to the app not allowing people to read or make comments, I'm assuming that's just the way Youtube designed the app since that's how it is on other consoles.

There is an alternative to the Youtube app though. It's called mytube. It will allow you to view and leave comments; however, that app is not free and it's not perfect either.
