Overview
- The workaround, reported Wednesday by Nintendo Life and Polygon, routes through Super Animal Royale’s main-menu news video to a “watch on YouTube” link that opens an external browser.
- Once the browser loads, users can search and play videos, but playback is capped at 360p resolution.
- Sign-in is not supported, and videos play only in full-screen, which prevents scrolling comments or using other on-page features during playback.
- The YouTube page often fails to load thumbnails, logos, or channel banners and may need multiple reloads, though videos usually start when tapped.
- An official Switch 2 YouTube app remains unconfirmed after a TeamYouTube post hinting at a release was deleted, even though the original Switch had a native app.
