PlayTube

About the App

PlayTube is a dedicated client application built for Amazon Fire TV and Fire tablet devices. It allows users to securely connect their Google account using the standard Google Device Authorization Flow. Once authenticated, PlayTube provides a clean, TV-optimized interface to search and watch YouTube content—including videos, channels, playlists, subscriptions, and liked videos—in a seamless, read-only format.

PlayTube only requests read-only permissions to display YouTube content on your device. We do not edit, upload, or delete your data, and we never share your personal information. PlayTube is for general YouTube video browsing — not limited to music.
