Youtube Videos Mobile Dilemma: Easy WorkaroundIf you are on a mobile phone or tablet (Android), and you click on a Youtube link but can't play the video in the Youtube MOBILE app, and you don't want to hassle with searching for the video on Youtube Mobile web, I have a solution for you.
Fix:
1. Install "Choose Browser" on your Android device.
Link to "Choose Browser"
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benhirashima.choosebrowser
2. Install "Dolphin Browser HD" (or any mobile browser that handles flash well and can be easily set to DESKTOP MODE from the UA (User Agent) settings. Go ahead and set the browser to Desktop mode once installed on your device.
3. When you encounter a Youtube video that you can't play on Youtube Mobile player, click on "MENU" on the Youtube App (while on the Youtube video that can't be played on mobile) and then select "SHARE".
4. Select "Choose Browser?".
5. Choose Dolphin Browser HD (or whatever browser that you have set to automatically give you the desktop version of sites.).
6. You should now see the video on desktop Youtube in your browser. Just double tap on the video to go full screen and if you have auto rotate enabled you can watch the video in landscape mode.
Simple workaround that keeps you from having to copy and paste and search for the Youtube video.

(P.S. -- there are lots of apps that will allow you to choose a browser for your mobile Android device. You can choose anyone you want. I just use "Choose Browser" because it was simple, and it worked for me.
