Introducing "YouTube Screensaver 2"
This application is a screen saver that plays your favorite YouTube videos in full screen.
It runs on Windows 10 and 11.
WebView2 and .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later must be installed on Windows.
WebView2 and .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later is already installed on many Windows 10 and 11, so there is almost no need to install anything new.
WebView2 and .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later is not yet installed on your computer, you can download it from the following site.
YouTube Screensaver 2 uses WebView2 to play YouTube videos.
WebView2 uses the same browser engine as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and supports the latest web technologies.
You can set up to five YouTube videos from the "YouTube Screensaver 2 Settings" dialog box.
From the options, you can select "Shuffle Play", "Fit the video size to inside the screen", and "Stop playing video (after 30 minutes, etc.)".
This version 2 now supports multiple monitors. If you are using multiple monitors on your computer, the YouTube video will play on each monitor.
In addition, a setting item for "Stop playing the video (after 30 minutes, etc.)" has been added, as the computer will not go into sleep mode while a YouTube video is playing.
If the YouTube video you have set is only allowed to play on the YouTube website (https://www.youtube.com), it will not play on YouTube Screensaver 2.
