Auth Proxy Adapter lets the app route its traffic through a proxy that requires authentication, which is the common setup on corporate networks and for people using a commercial proxy service.

Without it, an authenticated proxy simply blocks the app’s requests and nothing loads.

What it does

  • Supports proxies that require a username and password
  • Makes the app usable behind corporate network policies
  • Credentials configured once in the plugin options

  1. Install YouTube Music Desktop App for Windows, macOS or Linux.
