    Does that automatically play YouTube videos when opened or something, or what would it do in this situation of being linked to YouTube content?

      Yes. You can make it the default YouTube player on android, so you click a YouTube link and it opens in the newpipe app.

        Thanks. I have newpipe installed, which setting would enable newpipe to open instead of YouTube?

          ‘Open by Default’ in app settings though I would have thought once you installed, it would have asked which app player you wanted to set as default. I always select ‘Just Once’ because sometimes popup player is preferred over video player or background.

          Hopefully pictures are self-explanatory.

          Note: Tubular is the sponsorblock fork of Newpipe.

            Thanks. If I accidentally clicked “always” how can I get that option to pop up again?

            Edit; NM figured it out, in newpipe settings under “behavior” “video open option” I just switched to “always ask” so I can see how the different options work as I get familiar and then will choose the one I prefer.

          Something like Settings > apps> default apps > opening links > newpipe Then select the urls you want to open in newpipe. Also select the YouTube app and don’t allow it to open links
