document: Microsoft Blames Google for the Suckiness of the YouTube App on Windows Phone 7 Microsoft is getting involved with the European Union 's antitrust investigation regarding Google , mostly regarding the lack of information Google provides search engine competitors for indexing YouTube videos . But even more interesting is Microsoft 's claim that their app is lacking because Google wo n't provide the Windows Phone 7 team with the necessary data for the YouTube app that the versions on Android and iOS have . Second , in 2010 and again more recently , Google blocked Microsoft 's new Windows Phones from operating properly with YouTube . Google has enabled its own Android phones to access YouTube so that users can search for video categories , find favorites , see ratings , and so forth in the rich user interfaces offered by those phones . It 's done the same thing for the iPhones offered by Apple , which does n't offer a competing search service . Unfortunately , Google has refused to allow Microsoft 's new Windows Phones to access this YouTube metadata in the same way that Android phones and iPhones do . As a result , Microsoft 's YouTube '' `` app '' '' on Windows Phones is basically just a browser displaying YouTube 's mobile Web site , without the rich functionality offered on competing phones . Microsoft is ready to release a high quality YouTube app for Windows Phone . We just need permission to access YouTube in the way that other phones already do , permission Google has refused to provide . What 's that story about the pot calling the kettle black , again ? Or the one about stones and glass houses ?
