Since there is no official desktop app for YouTube Music, it is only available for download as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This PWA feature can mostly be installed using Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers. If you are not sure which browser to use, we recommend choosing one of the best Chromium browsers.

All browsers handle Progressive Web Apps differently, whether they are based on Chromium or not. You can install multiple copies of YouTube Music from different browsers.
