You can download the app for YouTube on the Nintendo Switch eShop, but you’ll have to manually search for it for now, and it appears that the app was launched worldwide, so it doesn’t matter if your Nintendo Switch is from another region. The YouTube app for the Nintendo Switch just takes 93.32 MB of space, and supports Joy-Cons and touchscreen input. The design of the YouTube app is identical to the one that is available on the Playstation 4 system.
This app can be downloaded for free, and users don’t need an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription to access it, thankfully.
