"The new YouTube app for Android Auto has no video playback and no browsing -- it's simply a media player for audio. You can play or pause content and skip forward to another video, and that's all."
"Unless you just set your phone down and let the video play, running down your battery, you'll need the video to play in the background to keep the audio going. And to do that, you'll need to be a YouTube Premium subscriber."
"Given that Android Auto implements quite a few restrictions as to how you can interact with it while driving, it's no surprise that you can't watch videos."
A new YouTube app is available on Android Auto, but it only allows users to control audio playback without video viewing. Users can play, pause, and skip audio content, making it useful for listening to podcasts or music. However, to keep audio playing in the background, a YouTube Premium subscription is required. This app does not enable video playback due to driving safety restrictions, raising questions about its potential role in promoting YouTube's premium service.
