3. myTube!

This one is a paid app but not much costly, we can get it only at $o.99 and it is worth that. This third-party-developed app for playing Youtube videos comes with nice features such as one can play videos into the background by lightly fading them; reading comments while watching videos is also possible on this software. Apart from them the common features such as browsing channels, searching the one video you want to watch, and more.

It is worth paying because as we know Google adds something new to its YouTube often, therefore, this leads most of the free apps to stop working because making them compatible takes not only energy but also a valuable time of developers. Thus, in such a situation paid apps at least give us some sought surety that they will not get abandoned easily.

Moreover, we can use this Youtube video playing app before actually paying for it. The Free trial version is available on the Microsoft Store with a limit of watching videos only for 1 hour after that the users have to wait 10 minutes to continue watching.

Here is the Microsoft Store link to get the app.

4. 4k Player for YouTube

Another paid, an unofficial YouTube app for Windows 8 and 10 without ads but you have to shell out $2.49. The interface of the player mimics the original Youtube website. Users can see the subscribed videos, history, and other personal recommendations based on their account profile. Just like myTube, we can try it as well before purchasing without advertising in the first 24 hours after installation.
