Before you write

Sign in. There is no native login wall. Use the YouTube avatar on the page.
Ads or Shorts came back. Check the Ads and Shorts controls in the app title bar. Both default off; either can be turned on.
A sponsor segment did not skip. Skip sponsors uses community timestamps. It is on by default and can be turned off in Settings (⌘,). It is separate from the Ads control.
A link from Chrome did not open here. The companion only handles watch, playlist, and Shorts URLs, and only after a click (or if you enabled auto-forward). Home and search stay in the browser. Open in Desktop for YT.
Picture in Picture has no speed. That is the system PiP. Speed lives on the desk window and on youtube.com.
The app opens to a paywall. Desktop for YT is free to download. After the 7-day trial, subscribe or Restore Purchases from the paywall or Settings (⌘,). Manage or cancel in App Store settings.

A native Mac window around youtube.com, plus a desk window and system Picture in Picture. One video at a time. English UI. macOS only.

Not a Google or YouTube product. Not an Enhancer for YouTube™ port. Not a download manager.

What the app stores and requests is listed in the Privacy Policy.

Desktop for YT on the Mac App Store. Free to download. Full access is an annual subscription ($2.99/year after a 7-day free trial). Terms of Use.
