The good news is that the video platform and streaming service YouTube is now allowing its users to install YouTube as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for quick YouTube access.

So far, the YouTube Progressive Web App is in a state of development and is slowly rolling out to some users globally. Therefore, it is not publicly available to everyone.

Many users have reported on social networking sites that they’re noticing a down arrow along with a desktop icon directly in the web address bar or in the Omnibox and there has been a prompt notification with “Install YouTube” to install the PWA YouTube app.

YouTube’s Progressive Web App is completely different from the regular web or browser version, as it does not have an address (Omnibox) bar or other UI elements.

2. Once the YouTube tab is fully loaded, you will see an arrow icon along with the PC icon in the web address bar.
