@iamshs not sure here, but I'm guessing that you are not breaking TOS. But app for displaying YouTube content needs to be OK with TOS for YouTube API. And this TOS says: II. Prohibitions Your API Client will not, and You will not encourage or create functionality for Your users or other third parties to: [...] modify, replace, interfere with or block advertisements placed by YouTube in the YouTube Data, YouTube audiovisual content, or the YouTube player;

@iamshs where you found info that Google forbidden MS to use YouTube API? I only read that MS said that Google didn't help them and that they don't have access to metadata. But I never found direct wording "forbidden MS to use YouTube API" or similar. Can you share with info where somebody from MS says that Google forbidden them to use YouTube API?

Ok. Thank you for the information. So as other commentators are saying, Google did not let MS access the youtube API, so does this app still in violation of TOS rules? Interesting moves from behemoths, specially considering MS's reply.
