In Android 14: Settings / App Settings / / Default opening (Terms might be slightly different. As my Android isn’t in English, I had to translate it.)
First go to the official YouTube app (if installed) and remove the binding. Then, go to NewPipe (or your preferred client) and set the binding there.
Typically, you can find the setting by holding down on the app’s icon, tapping the icon that looks like an “i” inside an “o”, and tapping on “Open by default”. After that, make sure “Open supported links” is on, and then tap “+ Add link” to add more supported links. That’s how it is on my phone, anyway.
Like you said, if you (or Google) have already set a default (for example, YouTube links always opening in the YouTube app), you have to go in to your YouTube app settings (same way as described above) and switch off “Open supported links”. Then you can go into the other app’s settings (Newpipe, ReVanced, etc.) and make it the default.
Thanks man unfortunately I have a Xiaomi phone so probably I don’t have the default options for video streaming links since miui and android are similar I have found the app settings and the defaults but I don’t have anything such as default video player (for links ) thanks anyway 👍🏻
For miui it’s apps / manage apps / 3 dots top right corner / opening links. go to YouTube and find the links it opens, now add those links to your app of choice and uninstall / disable the official app.
