The YouTube Channel allows the user to view YouTube videos on the television screen and has the ability to sign in to an existing YouTube account. The YouTube channel, which became available without warning, is currently only available in the North American version of Wii systems since November 15, 2012, only three days before the Wii U was released in North America. The YouTube channel was initially categorized on the Wii Shop Channel as a "WiiWare" title by mistake, but this was later fixed when the Wii U Transfer Tool channel became available.
Emulation Information
Future Shutdown
This channel will be shut down on June 30th, 2017 and will neither work beyond showing appropriate service retirement messages on Dolphin or on Wii Hardware.
Problems
UI Skips Frames
Although the video plays correctly, the UI and its elements (loading spinner, progress bar, time display, etc) skip frames and might be temporarily stuck on a previous state. Use "Safe" Texture Cache Accuracy to prevent that.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
