## YouTube

MusicBrainz tracks stream via YouTube. An optional Data API key resolves videos reliably; without a key or if quota is exceeded, Muzical falls back to in-player search.

### API key

Create a key in the Google Cloud Console with the YouTube Data API v3 enabled. The key is stored only in this browser.

### Queue prefetch

Resolve YouTube video ids in the background for upcoming queue tracks that need a stream.

## Prefetch video IDs for queue

When enabled, Muzical looks up YouTube videos for queue tracks missing a video id (uses your API key when set).

Prefetch limit

Maximum queue tracks to prefetch per queue change (1–32).
