YouTube Dock

Open your signed-in YouTube Home recommendations and Shorts in the existing Hermes Desktop Browser beside your conversation, without pasting video URLs or launching an external browser. Desktop-only SDK launcher; no agent tools, hooks, middleware or API keys.

Good to know before installing

Explicit user clicks load YouTube and its normal service/CDN requests in the native Browser; this plugin does not read credentials, cookies, recommendations or watch history. No telemetry, shell commands, backend service or self-updater. Uses the native preview toggle (Hide for an already-open destination), not a dedicated PIP player.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install youtube-dock
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable youtube-dock
  3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
