AFAIK, this app is developed by Microsoft.

Hey Thanks alot.
Amazing App allows you to even download you tube videos, can be now compared with Metro Tube.
Player is much better than the Native Video Player.

Yep, you're right, false alarm on my part. About screen says (C) Microsoft

I can't even download as it's not in the UK store yet!

My neighborhood was evacuated last week because of a huge brushfire. It's still smokey smelling here. Maybe it takes a while for Hell freezing over to propagate to this area.

Yeah, but Microsoft needed Google's approval for this. That's why the old YouTube app was only a link to the browser or whatever it was.

I love it, but links do not open to the app. I sent feedback, but the app is great and I pinned a playlist to the start screen. Love that.

I love how you can have a video playing...lock the screen...and still have it playing in the background. Thats cool to me. Super stoked about this new app. I am a very happy Windows phone fan this month. New amazing facebook, new flawless Hulu Plus, New YouTube, whats next!?

WTF, finally showed up for me to download, BUT it doesn't allow you to upload videos It's not truely a "Full" version of a Youtube app if it doesn't support uploading videos from your phone. Come on MS, I thought you were better than that???

I bet uploads will come in blue or other os updates, as videos are seemingly locked down. No upload in facebook either.

You can share videos on Facebook, it's built into the OS though (not the app)... I believe it even reencodes it to be a smaller size (I don't have a video I want to post to test the resizing)... just go to the Photos app, open a video, hit share, then FaceBook. I've used it several times.

Interesting, but if you move videos over via usb to the video folder, you can't do a thing to them. That is weird.

Yeah, forgot about that... Always just chalked it up to a preemptive measure to keep you from uploading content that you didn't record.
