Music videos now on YouTube app for Android


Now you can watch music videos from artists like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Kanye West and U2 onto the YouTube 2.0 app for Android, available around the world.

To watch these videos your mobile phone needs to be running Android 2.2 (Froyo).

We’re also launching several new features to make it easier to discover and enjoy music videos on mobile:

  • Music videos are now clearly marked with a ‘music note’ badge
  • While enjoying the video you can read ‘artist bio’
  • It’s easy to discover more tracks from the same artist using ‘artist tracks’ tab
  • You’ll find similar cool bands on the ‘related artists’ tab
Although the latest YouTube native app comes pre-installed on many Android 2.3 devices, you can also install it manually by searching for 'YouTube' in Android Market and downloading the latest version.
