About

YouTube Compatibility Helper allows administrators to allow specific YouTube video and playlist IDs in their organisation's web proxy without breaking navigation in the YouTube Web App.

YouTube Compatibility Helper does this by disabling the internal page router of the YouTube Web App, forcing every navigation event to be fetched from YouTube's servers through the web proxy instead of being handled internally.
