How To Watch YouTube Videos On Nintendo Switch Without Jailbreaking

The Nintendo Switch has a large library of fantastic games, all of which can be downloaded from Nintendo eShop. Great service not available on Nintendo’s handheld is YouTube.

While many assumed that Google would eventually bring YouTube to the Nintendo Switch, this never happened – officially anyway.

Many assumed that this was the last nail in the coffin for YouTube support on the switch, but the Switchbru team refused to accept it.

Stream YouTube videos without jailbreaking your Nintendo Switch

The good news is that if you only want to watch YouTube videos on your Nintendo Switch, you do not need to use the unofficial browser.

Admittedly, the workaround is quite tedious and it’s worth pointing out that you may be able to see some YouTube videos on your smartphone in the time you need to load YouTube on the switch, but hey, if that’s it, what you want.

  1. In your user profile, select Publish to Social Media.
  2. Touch the “Link” button next to the Facebook icon.
  3. Instead of logging into your Facebook account in the pop-up browser, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select “Pages.”
  4. Search for the Switchbru Facebook page and select it.
  5. The pinned post on Switchbru’s official Facebook page should lead you to SwitchTube, a custom page for watching YouTube videos on the switch.
  6. Search for the YouTube video you’d like to see by name, or search for a more specific Video ID.

And there you have it!

Hopefully, Nintendo and Google will realize the demand for YouTube on the switch and publish an official app later!

If you have not used a switch yet or are looking for a great deal, take a look at our best Nintendo Switch offerings.
