It is a very small application that runs almost instantly on a Windows PC. It is free to use but does not provide automatic updates or support. You will receive lifetime support and automatic updates once you purchase the app. Minitube has a very simple user interface consisting of three tabs: Search, Browse and Subscriptions. Using the Browse tab, you can browse YouTube using a specific country or worldwide. The browse and subscriptions tabs did not function correctly, but the search tab worked perfectly for me. Once the application has been downloaded and installed, you will see a screen with three options: Use Demo, Enter License, and Buy License. You can use the app for free by selecting Use Demo. Download Minitube FreeTubeFreeTube Player is one of the best desktop players for YouTube that is open source and free. The primary advantage of FreeTube is that it plays YouTube videos without advertisements and prevents Google from tracking your device. FreeTube Player is extremely fast and can also be used to download YouTube videos for offline viewing. A mini-window mode is also available, which operates similarly to the Picture-in-Picture mode of a browser. FreeTube’s only disadvantage is the quality of the videos. This application can only play or download video files up to 720p resolution. FreeTube is available for MacOS, Windows and Linux. Download FreeTube Echoes PlayerEchoes Player is another free and open-source YouTube media player that focuses on privacy. It has a very sleek interface that enhances the user experience.

Install Echoes Player from Chrome Web Store MotionBoxIf you are looking for a video browser that can browse videos not only from YouTube but also from other video streaming services like Dailymotion, Vimeo, SoundCloud etc, MotionBox is the perfect fit. MotionBox is available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Download MotionBox Closing wordsYouTube is a popular platform to share your candid and professional videos with the entire world. The YouTube application makes that experience pleasant with its better interface and controls. However, the application does not continue to play audio when it is minimized. Hence, it would not be possible to listen to music while the application runs in the background. Will you be switching to the app version of YouTube or continue using it through a browser?
