How to Play Youtube Videos on VLC Media Player

For most of us VLC is a first choice when it comes to Media player and I personally recommend it being opensource and offering support for universal Media formats. It is not completely new feature but now VLC media player supports playing Youtube video just by hitting URL as we do in web browser.




Here is a step by step procedure , that users who are not yet too familiar with VideoLAN can follow to obtain the desired result :

1. Start VLC;
2. Go menu Media > Open network stream;
3. Paste the URL YouTube videos ( eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grTCDFbhKMU ) in Enter a URL network and click Play.
