Just moved to Brave and love it.

**I cannot figure out how to make the YouTube app open when i click any YouTube link in the mobile browser.**

I have tried all of the guides from \< 2020 but cannot find the settings as the app has been updated.

I’m on Android 15, Pixel 7

Thanks in advance 🙂

@randomPRSN in Brave on your Android device, go to `Settings --> Media` and toggle the `Open YouTube links in Brave` option “off” and you should be good to go.
