Nintendo has apparently blocked a workaround for watching YouTube on the Switch 2

Nintendo appears to have blocked a YouTube workaround on Switch 2 after it spread online.

A Reddit user discovered that a YouTube link inside Super Animal Royale could open a hidden browser and play videos in a limited way.

Users later began seeing error code 2800-1230, suggesting Nintendo closed the loophole before an official YouTube app was available.

The episode highlights that Switch 2 still lacks major streaming apps and that Nintendo is moving quickly against unofficial access methods.
