Is there any way to listen to a video from YouTube on my Apple Watch. Not music but the podcasts from YouTube??

Podcasts (or to be correct), Podcasting, is a delivery service. As such, you cannot use the Podcast app to listen to content on YouTube, even if the video's creators call it a Podcast. It's only a Podcast if it is delivered as a Podcast, through a Podcast app (also known as a podcatcher).


However, that said, if the video's producers make the audio available as a Podcast, then you can get the audio "as a Podcast".


A good example of this is Podcasters' Roundtable. They produce a YouTube video, but also make an audio only version of the same programme, as a Podcast.


There may be other ways too. Perhaps the producers have a website where the audio is available.

Thank you for your answer. I’m trying to figure this out for m best friend who bought the newest watch with cellular, put it on her phone plan and bought AirPods, as well only to listen to the YouTube creators (not watch them) while working on her horse farm. Hopefully, I’ll figure this out for her. That’s a lot to spend for one service only to find out it’s not supported. Thank you!
