Can't see/find Youtube music button

Being blind ? (Wasnt a clean install but I upgraded to the latest version)

Hello,

may it be that the youtube music button in the tray menu is hidden for countries where the service hasn't been launched yet (I'm from Luxembourg) ?

Visit https://music.youtube.com/ to see if it available in your country

@jespersh I know YTM is not available in my country, just curious if the Button is supposed not to be displayed in this case or if it is a bug.

[MarshallOfSound]

The button should be displayed in all countries

I am from India and I cannot see the Youtube Music icon as well. Maybe I am not looking in the right place. Where on the UI should I see it

[samoz83]

@avgdev right click on the tray icon and you can select Youtube Music from there.

I have to say that it's either impossible to find on macOS, or it's really well hidden... I'm in UK, where the service is launched, so this doesn't seem to be a factor.

[MarshallOfSound]

@stryju You aren't on the latest release 😄

[n8carrier]

The latest release is 4.6.0? I just got an update that said it included YouTube Music, but I also can't find it. My screens match those @stryju posted. I've clicked every link thinking I might just be blind...

[jerwarren]

I don't have any UI in the main window for YouTube Music either, but I did eventually find it in the system tray rightclick menu. Where is it supposed to appear in-app?

[stryju]

I'm @ 4.6.0, which seems to be the latest one?

[jerwarren]

[stryju]

@jerwarren I would've never found this icon... thanks!

[n8carrier]

Ooh that's where it is, thanks. Suggestion: Place a link in the sidebar where "Desktop Settings" is that says "Switch to YouTube Music".

[cpetzel]

I also could not figure out how to get into youtube music. Please add a menu item to get into the service!

[MarshallOfSound]

We probably will add a more prominent button to switch services once YouTube Music support is cleaned up and complete

How can you switch to YT music on Linux? This button is not there (i'm in a YT music country)

[SeraphDosSantos]

I'm trying in Elementary OS and cannot see where to switch to YT Music. Can someone help?
