Preflight Checklist

I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

YouTube (Music) lacks any functionality like Spotify Jam to let other people in the group queue up songs. While we have Music Together, I've understood that to use it you need the app, which isn't available on mobile.

Proposed Solution

A web server that lets you control the player, or at the very least to see the 'Up Next' tab and add/remove songs from the queue (the more functionality, the better), so other people in the same network can queue up songs. The plugin could also display a QR code for connecting to the web server to make the experience seamless.

Alternatives Considered

A mobile build of the app, but it would obviously be a lot more effort, and not as nice to use since everyone would need to install it.

Additional Information

By webserver you mean website?

Yes, that's what I mean. I feel this feature would be very useful, as nothing like it that works exists as of now (as far as I'm aware of).

That's pretty great and almost exactly what I'm looking for, but it lacks the most crucial feature I need, the ability to add songs to the queue. (Also, I still like the idea of having a QR code in the app for the URL, so guests can more easily use it)

Because of the HTTP limitation, I'm also unable to access it at all in Samsung Internet (I think partly because of HSTS? Though I'm not the most knowledgeable on networking). Could the web server for the remote be hosted using HTTPS, despite YouTube Music's API server being hosted with HTTP?
