Hi everyone! Recently, we announced that YouTube would be coming to PS Vita. It’s the latest application to be added to PS Vita’s growing portfolio of applications and one that takes full advantage of PS Vita’s high-definition and 3G capabilities. Starting later today, the YouTube application will be available as a free download via the PS Vita Store on PSN.
With the YouTube application on PS Vita, you can watch millions of YouTube videos on PS Vita’s stunning 5” OLED screen. And with 3G, you can watch your favorite content – from comedy to gaming tips to viral videos – while you’re at home or on-the-go. The application itself is straightforward and easy to use. Key features include:
- Recommended Videos: Displays videos recommended from YouTube
- Search: Search for videos by typing a keyword
- Viewing History : Displays the most recent videos you’ve viewed
- Add to Favorites: Displays a list of videos you’ve added to your Favorites list. You must be signed into your account to add a video to your Favorites.
Videos will be viewable in two modes – full screen and small screen. In Full Screen mode, a control panel will be displayed on the screen, which will allow you to easily expand or minimize videos. Additionally, an HD button will appear when playing high definition (up to 720p) videos. Simply tap on the HD button to switch from HD to SD.
In Small Screen mode, you’ll be able to view a video, while having access to the Like or Dislike buttons, Suggested Videos, Comments and Information.
PS Vita was designed to deliver the best high-resolution portable entertainment experience possible. We’re very excited to be able to offer the content and applications that are compelling to you, and we looking forward to bringing you more as we move further into 2012.

Ok, I finally got it. xD I just had to close out of the PS Store app and re-open it and it poped up.
Watching HD Videos on the PS Vita is AM-A-ZING!!! WoW!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish this App could also make its way on the PS3
still cant get youtube working
yeah the quality is amazing and it doesnt even skip like it normally tends to on the pc
or tneds to buffer for short periods of time
Ok, it is awesome, other than, I cannot seem to figure out how to sign into youtube, via the vita, it keeps messin with me saying it cannot authorize it on my vita, and I have created two accounts now, trying to get this to work. anyone? answers perhaps?
Ok. I,ve tried the youtube app. It works. The interface still needs improvement. Still, I’m disappointed. I was hoping for a real flash/html5 plugin for the browser. I want to play streaming videos other than from youtube, you know?
We’re chipping away at the browser…appreciate your patience.
