So someone found how to force the YouTube app to use Exoplayer, and provided a guide for doing it. Hooray! But what is Exoplayer? And why would I want it force enabled on my YouTube app? Answers here.


Exoplayer is an experimental video player hidden inside Google’s YouTube app, and it basically loads videos much, much faster. Problem is, it is usually not made easily available to the average user like you and me. And so people found a way around that (they always do).

Before we give you the link, please remember a couple of things though. First, that this requires a rooted phone. So if you have not rooted your phone yet, this is not for you. If you want to get this feature, you will have to gain root access to your phone, and that means tweaking it a bit. Also, the Exoplayer is an experimental feature of the YouTube app, and so it will not have all the features of the main player. That said, it does load quite faster than the normal, and for that, you might want to try it out.

So on to the guide then. Please hit this link here to get to the guide on how to enable this feature. Remember, if you are unsure of the process, make a backup just in case everything hits the crapper. Enjoy!
