People love to break rules. Whether they are driving vehicles on roads or playing games on consoles like Nintendo Switch. Though the comparison between the two is strange, it is a fact now that Nintendo Switch users can watch YouTube videos on the console. The Switch is originally designed to play Nintendo Switch games, but as mentioned above, everybody wants to do something outlandish on their digital devices.
If you want to watch YouTube videos on Nintendo Switch, you are not supposed to get any Nintendo Switch accessories. All you need is a Windows computer, a Fiddler proxy and get to know how to set up Fiddler. Note that Fiddler is a web debugging proxy server for any PC.
Setting up Fiddler is extremely complex process and therefore, we have avoided it here to save time and energy. Yeah, it is more complicated than setting up Nintendo Switch, which takes some 25 odd steps.

Step #1: Once you have set up Fiddler proxy on your computer, you need to continue to keep that computer running because you are using your computer as a proxy.
Step #2: Now launch System Settings on your Switch and select Internet option.
Step #3: Next, go to the Internet settings and connect to Internet.
You have to ensure that your computer and proxy server are running on the same Internet network. Also note that your computer and Nintendo Switch have to be on the same network.
