Microsoft updating YouTube app to comply with Google demands May 24, 2013 - 10:44 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft is updating its YouTube application for Windows Phone to comply with some, but not all, of Google's terms of service, ZDNet reported. On May 7, Microsoft rolled out a YouTube app for Windows Phone 8 that the company developed itself. On May 15, Google sent Microsoft a cease-and-desist letter about that app, noting it violated some of the YouTube terms of service, including not displaying ads and allowing users to download content from the app. Google requested that Microsoft either block or pull the YouTube app from the Windows Phone Store by May 22. Microsoft decided to meet Google part way. The company rolled out an updated version of its YouTube app for Windows Phone that disables video downloads, but which still doesn't display ads. Windows Phone users who've already downloaded the Microsoft YouTube app will lose the video download functionality if and when they apply the update. Those who haven't yet downloaded the app will get the version without the video downloading capability once they grab the app.   Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
