Can I watch videos on Android Auto?

If you have a car with the Google operating system, you may have ever wondered if you can watch videos on Android Auto And the reality is that in principle the system for cars does not contemplate this possibility. Keep in mind that this is a system designed to be used while driving.

When driving, it's important to try to avoid all distractions behind the wheel. In fact, that is precisely one of the keys why this system works with Google Assistant.

Therefore, it would not be recommended that we be able to watch our favorite Netflix series while driving. The possibility that we get distracted and end up causing an accident is quite significant. Although it is not materially impossible, it is important to insist that at no time should a video be played while our minds are occupied with driving.

Watch videos on Android Auto 2021

Although many users request it, in principle there is no way to watch videos on Android Auto 2021. Due to the aforementioned danger reasons, the operating system blocks almost all streaming applications.

Yes, there are some ways to hack the system so that it will allow you to do so. But it is important that you first think carefully about whether it is worth doing for the use you can give it.

Root Android so that it allows you to do things that you normally can't, but you have to know how to do it. If you are not a very experienced user, you can end up messing it up and being unable to use it.

Considering that you can't watch videos on Android Auto while driving and you could only use it while stationary, it doesn't seem worth the trouble to hack the system. After all, practically no one sits in the car seat to watch a movie or series. And to do it it would be much more comfortable to carry a tablet than to do it on the small screen of Android Auto.

YouTube Auto

If despite everything you insist on being able to watch Youtube videos in your car, there is a way to do it. This is the application Youtube Auto, which is not available in the Play Store but for which you can find an APK.

This application allows you to search within Youtube, check trends or play videos in your car just like you would from a mobile phone .

The application does not have a very elaborate design, and it can be a bit cumbersome to use. But, if we remember that you can't watch videos in Android Auto while you're driving, it's probably something you're going to use occasionally. And in that case adapting to this design will not be too annoying.

Netflix on Android Auto

In principle, there is no Netflix application in Android Auto However, it is possible to play the videos using screen mirroring mode , that is, passing the Android Auto screen to the screen of your mobile. Some quality will be lost and if you don't have a good connection you may suffer small cuts, but it is a way for you to enjoy your favorite series.

Keep in mind that Netflix has a function to play audio only, so you could listen to a movie or series just the same that you listen to the radio, which would not be too dangerous. Of course, it is a somewhat peculiar way of enjoying movies or series.
