Windows 8 final release is nearing and there has been good additions to the Windows Store apps. There are many useful Windows 8 Apps available and all of these are optimized for tablet use, although they work well with desktops as well. Although there is no official YouTube app in Windows Store, a new app called YouTube Player has been added which brings some nice features.
With the YouTube Player for Windows 8 you can search, watch a stream and share videos from YouTube. The interface is similar to any other Windows Store app.
You can search any videos using the charms menu and the results are neatly displayed with thumbnails and short description.
You can watch the video in normal mode or full screen mode with controls.
Optionally, you can also login to your YouTube account using the app. There is option to set the style for the app also also select the YouTube feeds to be displayed. You can set up to 4 feeds.
There is also a minimized version of the player where you can play and manage volume.

je lui ai mis 1 etoile, la recherche est completement laborieuse, il m’a fallu du temp pour comprendre comment utiliser la fonction recherche, il n’ya a aucune correction ortographique et aucune sugestion (par exemple je recherche “fareignet” je ne sais pas comment sa s’écrit exactement, la ça me sort no result alo que sur la version web j’aurai eu les resultat que je cherché !
de plus je ‘arrive pas à lancer une video ! ça ne veut pas se charger ! – 1 pour cette apllication qui déconne complétement ( comme toute les autre application metro d’ailleur)
