Can you watch YouTube on Android Wear?!

Smartwatches have dominated the tech headlines in the past two years at lightning speed. Now, a new amazing feature has appeared - users can watch YouTube on the mini screen of smartwatches! The first reaction of the editor after seeing this news can only be described in two words: haha. Although the editor cannot accept this reality, it has indeed been realized. Last month, news showed that the second-generation system of Apple Watch, watch OS2, will realize the video playback function. Now, even Android Wear users can watch YouTube videos on their watches; this is thanks to an APP - Video for Android Wear&YouTube. The editor said: Comrades! Is it really comfortable to watch movies on such a small screen! Wouldn’t the viewing experience be better on a larger screen like a mobile phone? ! Why did such a weird APP appear? !

Despite all the complaints, I will still introduce this app to you. This app for Android Wear is provided by the developer Appfour. It is now available on the Google Play Store. Video for Android Wear & YouTube, seeing this name, I believe you can already guess its function. Yes, it allows users to watch YouTube videos on Android Wear smart watches, and supports voice search function.

Currently, almost all Android Wear smartwatches do not have built-in speakers, so this app supports Bluetooth headphones and microphones; however, users must first pair the headphones with the watch before using them. Note that it is the watch that is paired, not the phone. Once the video on the watch starts playing, users can choose to pause/play, search, and adjust the volume.

The most practical feature of the Video for Android Wear & YouTube app may be that it can be used with Chromecast. Videos on the watch can be transferred to the TV for playback, and users can use their watch as a remote control to control the progress of video playback on the TV.

Video for Android Wear & YouTube is free, so those who are interested can download it and give it a try. In addition, Appfour claims that this APP can be used with all devices equipped with Android Wear system. However, the editor reminds everyone that when using this APP, you must pay attention to charging the device in time!
