Zoom's YouTube App from Marketplace?

Hi everybody,

Has anyone tried using Zoom's YouTube app from the Marketplace? We're hoping to use it to substitute the need for hosts to share their screen to show YouTube content. However, we notice a few issues:
--The host can hear the YouTube audio, but guests can't, despite the video being in sync.
--When trying to change from one video to another, the app performs inconsistently: it either changes to the next video, or nothing happens. Even when the current video ends, and you attempt to select a different one, it doesn't play, requiring you to close out of the app and reopen it.

Just curious to see if anyone has identified other bugs so I can reference those issues as I open a case with Zoom support. Thanks!

@MaybelleDickin if you go to Zoom's app marketplace and type in "YouTube", you'll notice that Zoom has developed an integrated YouTube app for your meeting window. I think the goal of the app was to allow a host to play a video from within the meeting window without needing to bounce out to a browser and do the "Share Entire Screen/Share Computer Audio" workflow.
It's definitely one of the newer apps in the marketplace.

I tried to share the youtube video by app, but why there is only video feed but no sound?
