Like many open source applications, Totem utilizes a plugin structure,meaning that its functionality can be expanded by add-in modules. Several are supplied out of the box, including a YouTube browser. This lets you search for and playback YouTube videos within Totem. However,
none of the plugins are activated.
To activate the YouTube plugin, start Totem (Applications → Sound & Video → Movie Player), click Edit → Plugins, and put a check alongside YouTube Browser in the list. Click the Close button and then, in the main Totem program window, select YouTube from the dropdown headed Properties at the top right. Following this a search box will appear, in which you can search for videos on YouTube. Double-click any entries in the Search Results field to play them in Totem.
Note that you might need to follow the instructions to ensure all the multimedia codecs are installed prior to playback in order to watch YouTube videos in Totem; for some reason, codec installation for YouTube videos isn’t automatic, as it is for other video file formats.
