YTSpoofingStream
Force YouTube web to play studio audio (Opus ITAG 774)
Even with YouTube Premium, YouTube Web caps audio at 160kbps (ITAG 251). YTSpoofingStream unlocks studio-grade Opus audio (ITAG 774, ~256–301kbps, >20kHz) directly in your browser. Powered by a Dual-Stream Sync Engine, it plays native quality video while running deciphered Hi-Fi audio with sub-15ms sync. ✦ Genuine ITAG 774 Opus (>20kHz response) ✦ Native UI & volume controls fully intact ✦ 100% open-source, client-side, zero tracking.
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
At one point, I kept asking myself: *"Why is it that only mobile phones and Smart TVs get the high-quality audio stream while desktop users are left behind?"*
That exact question inspired me to build YTSpoofingStream. Looks pretty awesome, right? After lots of testing, it is now running completely stable and smooth, and I'm super excited to finally share it with all of you today!
Even with YouTube Premium, YouTube Web artificially caps audio at ~160kbps Opus (ITAG 251) with a sharp ~15kHz cut-off. YTSpoofingStream fixes this by unlocking studio-grade ITAG 774 Opus (>20kHz frequency response, up to 301kbps) directly on desktop web.
How it works:
• Dual-Stream Sync: Your native high-quality video player runs completely unaffected, while harvested ITAG 774 audio plays in parallel with sub-15ms sync accuracy.
• Native Controls Intact: Volume sliders, mute toggles, and YouTube player UI work seamlessly without desync.
• 100% Open-Source & Private: Runs entirely client-side with zero telemetry.
I’d love to hear your feedback and answer any questions! What track are you going to test it on first?
