How To Download And Install YouTube Music App On Desktop?

To download and install the YouTube Music app on your desktop, follow these steps using either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers since there isn't yet an officially released standalone desktop application for YouTube Music:

For Google Chrome:

  1. Open Google Chrome on your computer.
  2. Go to https://music.youtube.com by typing it in the address bar and pressing Enter.
  3. Click the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the browser window.
  4. Choose Install YouTube Music from the dropdown menu. A prompt may appear asking if you wish to add the app to your desktop; click Install.

After completing these steps, you should now have the YouTube Music app running as a desktop app within Google Chrome.

For Microsoft Edge:

  1. Open Microsoft Edge on your computer.
  2. Navigate to https://music.youtube.com.
  3. Look for the Install YouTube Music button in the address bar.
  4. Click the button and then choose Install when asked whether you would like to install the app.

Once installed through Microsoft Edge, you can manage the app from the system settings, such as creating a desktop shortcut or pinning it to the taskbar.

Please note that while not an official desktop application, installing YouTube Music as a progressive web app provides similar functionality to its web counterpart but with more integration into your operating system's environment.
