Troubleshooting
The video player shows an error. What should I do?
Close and reopen the video. If the error persists, ensure you have a stable internet connection. Yt occasionally limits stream access — trying again usually resolves the issue.
A download failed or is stuck at 0%.
Cancel the download using the × button on the progress bar, then try again. If the issue persists, check that the video is publicly available and that your internet connection is stable.
Windows SmartScreen warns about the installer. Is it safe?
Yes. The app is safe. SmartScreen shows this warning for apps from smaller publishers that don't yet have extensive download history. Click More info → Run anyway to proceed with the installation.
The app is slow to start. How do I fix it?
Ensure your internet connection is active at startup (the app connects to our servers for configuration). If slowness persists, try restarting the app. Make sure your Windows GPU drivers are up to date for optimal performance.
