i was wondering if anyone knew how to set the youtube app to recognize when i click on a youtube video on facebook, because the only options i get are opera mini and the stock browser but youtube never comes up.

Is it possible that when a youtube link is posted that when clicking it in opera it doesn't just open the page in youtube but instead opens the video in the youtube app so you can actually watch the video since opera doesn't play embeded videos, unless I've missed an app for this.
im also looking for the same thing, does anyone know how?
This has been asked for time and time again, and there's never been a way to do it. I used to love the way that IE would open the YouTube app when you tried to play a YouTube video, but now I use Opera 10 and watch YouTube vids directly on the page they're on, in full screen. It's perfect. If you can get used to the click-to-zoom and back-to-zoom-out idea, Opera 10 is loads better than 9.7, and plays most flash files (once plugins are turned on).
Actually it is Possible.
I have been doing this for a long time in my hd2.
It doesnt work from a www.youtube.com link. The trick is to use the built in opera browser and open the youtube mobile site at m.youtube.com. just click on any of the thumbnail images of the video and the htc youtube app kicks in and plays it in the proper quality not in 3gp quality of the youtube mobile site !!!
you can also convert any normal youtube video link to mobile youtube link by changing the www into w in the link!
it works like a charm!!!

That's obviously only good for if you're on the YouTube site though. It doesn't help for video posted on other sites, as in links to YouTube. I'd still tell everyone who uses YouTube to get Opera 10. It's great!

yes. You are right. an alternative is tap and hold link in opera and open in new tab and edit "www" to "m".
The thing is with opera 10 direct youtube play the video quality is very blocky!
this gives a much cleaner playback.
I have an idea for any devs to develop a small program to translate the desktop youtube link to mobile youtube link on the fly. kind of an intermediate app which captures the link from opera 9.7 translate the link and pass that to the native youtube app! that would be cool!
I cant play a video i go to youtube and load a movie and every time i get this video has been removed, all the sites i go the same thing plz help me i still get the android 2.1 version is that a problem to ?
No problems here. Watching a movie right now. Is there anything you did to the system lately? And you can't play any and all youtube videos? Videos in the browser won't work until 2.2. But the you tube app should work fine.
good day.
i bought it yesterday and i go to internet youtube press a movie there i see the movie whith the play thing and press play and then he say that it has been replaced every time i press a video strange thing
Have you opened your youtube app? And when you click play on a video in the browser it should open the youtube app. Look in your apps for the youtube app.
good day. From my voodooed Fascinate using the XDA app.
just download youtube app in market or where can i find it ?
i downloaded myoutube but everytime i open a video i get the warning sign unfortunately we most close myoutube :s
Hi, iam new with this stuff i bought a g tablet, and i want to know why i can't see some you tube videos, is there something that i have to install???
Thx pablo
are u trying to watch inside the browser or the youtube app?
with the youtube app it only shows videos formatted for mobile devices as the youtube app from the market is not tablet specific.
inside the browser all should play but u will need working flash player.
I was doing thru you tube aplication, but some videos was on facebook page.
Now i change the setting to view like desktop on the browser and problem result. Thanks, what a newbie!!!
sounds like you need to use the site and the flash player app that's floating around here on xda devs.. you can long press a video and make it full screen
ok, considering the jump to win phone
I have a few questions on how it deals with video links in email, websites and in apps
iOS6 when you click a YouTube within FB or Twitter apps it goes to a web browser with in the the app and plays it in that browser, or if you click open in safari if its YouTube it goes to the YT app
On android its similar
what does Windows phone do in these apps ?
A- if its a YouTube video
B- if its non YouTube but mobile friendly.
I basicly want how it handles YouTube video links, and non youtube
does it play with in the app, or does it fire up IE ?
I think it plays in a YouTube player and you can go "back" to return to social media app.

I haven't tried the Twitter app, but in general, either within an app or the built-in integration (available for both FB and Twitter), video links will open in the browser. What happens then depends on how you have your browser set up; the default behavior for YouTube is to launch the YouTube app, but I prefer HTML5 video so I enabled that option on the YouTube site and set my browser in "desktop mode" so YT serves it HTML5 video. For sites which don't have any WP7-specific functionality but serve HTML5 video, the video will work fine as expected. HTML5 video doesn't actually play directly in the browser - it launches a separate video player to do it - but otherwise it works just fine.
i got Naked Browser Pro for my samsumg s3. when i click on a youtube link, instead of the video opening in the youtube app, it opens in the browser. the idiot developer says its not possible.. clearly hes wrong. i've cleared defaults in the browser, yt app and native browser but the problem persists. how do i get it to open in the yt app?
