Warning
Nativefier YouTube on TV for Desktop is an app generated with Nativefier. Nativefier is no longer maintained, so updating Nativefier YouTube on TV for Desktop is no longer possible. Nativefier YouTube on TV for Desktop is therefore unmaintained and will not receive any updates.
This app allows you to use YouTube.com/tv (the YouTube interface for smart tvs and digital video players like Roku) on a desktop computer. It sets the user agent to Roku to prevent YouTube from redirecting to the standard desktop website like it would in a normal browser. It can be navigated with the arrow, enter, and escape keys.
