YouTube is one of the most popular websites, and it is one of the most consumed video websites on the internet. The service works as a website and mobile application. We spend hours on YouTube seeing through songs, movies, and other infotainment media.
As of now, there is no standalone YouTube app for MacBook PC, though there is a YouTube app available for Android and iPhone devices. What if you wish to install and use YouTube as a desktop application that works as a native Macbook app? Here we have mentioned a couple of methods that can help you download the YouTube app as a native app on your Mac OS.
Method 1. Using YouTube Web App
You can install the YouTube app on your Mac as a web app using Chrome browser. Google Chrome allows you to install a website as an app. It will look and function like a YouTube website but can be added to your Mac Launchpad as a standalone app with all the features.

Method 2. Using 3rd Party Tool
If you are looking to install the YouTube app another way around, then there is also a third-party application known as a webCatalog that allows you to install YouTube. The YouTube app installed from WebCatalog is similar to the Chrome web app, but it looks cleaner as compared to the web app. So, if you wish to use a YouTube app on your Mac that looks like a standalone app, then a WebCatalog can come in handy.
